Davis (groin) is questionable to return to Game 6 against Phoenix on Thursday, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis wasn't completely ruled out, but it be a bit of a surprise to see him take the floor again with the Lakers falling behind by double-digits quickly in the do-or-die situation. It could mark the end of the season for Davis, who struggled with injuries for a good chunk of the 2020-21 campaign. He tallied one rebound and one assist in five minutes of play.

Davis (groin) went to the locker room in the first quarter of Game 6 against Phoenix on Thursday, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis played just five minutes and didn't attempt a shot before having to leave the game due to his groin strain. He hasn't been ruled out of the rest of the game yet, but it would surprising to see him back on the floor as he was limping his limited appearance to start the contest. Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris could see increased minutes for the rest of the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Davis will be back in the lineup as expected despite a strained groin which limited him in Game 4 and kept him out of Game 5. In four games so far in the series, Davis has averaged 21.8 points on 40.3 percent shooting, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game. His return will likely send Markieff Morris back to the bench.

Davis will apparently return for Game 6 as long as he suffers no setbacks during pregame warmups. The 28-year-old missed Game 5 due to a strained groin while the Lakers lost by 30. Before leaving the Game 4 loss due to the groin injury, Davis had totaled just six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 19 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

After an embarrassing blowout loss in Tuesday's Game 5, it's do-or-die for the Lakers, so the general thought is that Davis will return to the lineup. However, coach Frank Vogel didn't sound overly confident when asked about his big man's status Wednesday afternoon. "We'll see," Vogel said. "He's making progress, but we still don't know." Without Davis in the lineup Tuesday, the Lakers were blitzed early on and couldn't fight back, ultimately falling by 30 points in a game that was never close.

Davis missed Game 5 in Phoenix, and the Lakers were blown out 115-85. Markieff Morris got the start in Davis' absence, but he finished with just four points in 10 minutes. More information on Davis' status should emerge as the do-or-die Game 6 approaches.

EDGE Analysis

There wasn't much optimism surrounding Davis' potential availability for Game 5, so his absence doesn't come as a surprise. In his place, coach Frank Vogel will start Markieff Morris, who has played just 12 total minutes in the series. Kyle Kuzma is a strong candidate to also see an uptick in usage.

Davis (groin) is considered a game-time call for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Suns, Mike Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The words came straight from the mouth of coach Frank Vogel, so it appears there's a chance that Davis could push through a strained left groin to take the court for Game 5. As of Monday, it was widely expected that Davis was trending toward sitting out Tuesday night, so if he ultimately does play, there's a good chance he'd be rather limited. Davis did not play in the second half of Sunday's Game 4 after putting up six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 19 first-half minutes.

Davis underwent an MRI and is considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a strained left groin, and he'll officially be listed questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 at Phoenix, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier in the day the 28-year-old is unlikely to play Tuesday, but coach Frank Vogel publicly expressed more optimism during Monday's presser. Davis didn't play during the second half of Game 4 on Sunday after suffering the strain shortly before halftime.

Davis (groin) is unlikely to play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Suns, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis exited Sunday's Game 4 loss to the Suns with a left groin strain, and it appears as though he'll miss at least one more contest as a result. If Davis is held out, Markieff Morris, Marc Gasol and Kyle Kuzma could see increased run.
