Adding to their troubles, Anthony Davis was injured during the game after getting poked in the eye in the first quarter. His absence was noticeable, particularly on the defensive end. Davis is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks.
On a positive note, reports indicate that he has been showing signs of improvement, although he initially had severe swelling that caused his eye to swell shut. With a 6-6 record since the All-Star break, the Lakers’ performance raises concerns about their potential decline as the regular season nears its end.
