The Los Angeles Lakers secured a thrilling 115-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day due to Austin Reaves’ game-winning shot in the final second. However, the excitement took a hit early in the game for Lakers star Anthony Davis, who left the game early due to an ankle injury.
Davis, who played just seven minutes in the first quarter, exited after sustaining the injury. Unfortunately, he did not return for the rest of the game. His early departure raised concerns among fans, especially after he had been listed as questionable for the game due to a left shoulder contusion.
Despite the setback, Davis assured everyone that his injury was not serious. In an interview with ESPN, he confidently shared his injury update.
“I’ll be OK. I am playing against SAC on Saturday,” Davis said.
