The initial belief is Anthony Davis experienced hip and back spasms after being pushed in the air by Larry Nance Jr. and landing awkwardly, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN.

The initial severity of the injury appears to be less significant than initially anticipated. Although Anthony Davis exited the game with a back injury, he was able to walk off the court under his own power, which is generally considered a positive sign. However, back injuries can be unpredictable and persistent. Upon reaching the scorer’s table, Davis relied on its support before heading to the locker room. It is expected that he will undergo testing and further evaluation to determine the official diagnosis. While hip and back spasms can be bothersome, they are typically not long-term injuries.
