Anthony Davis is expected to be fully prepared for Tuesday night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans as the Los Angeles Lakers secured the 8th seed in the playoffs after defeating the Pelicans in their last regular season game. “He gave me a little shove in the back. My back just locked up. But nothing concerning,” Davis told reporters in the locker room. “I was in the air, probably just a dangerous play on him.”

Davis assured reporters that he would be good to go on Tuesday night, when the Lakers are set to face the Pelicans once again, this time with a spot in the playoffs on the line.

“No doubt that I’m going to play,” Davis said. “See how it feels for the rest of the day. Get some massages, some treatment. Just keep it loose.”

Anthony Davis called the push from Larry Nance Jr. a “dangerous play” but said there was “no doubt” he will be ready to play in the play-in game on TuesdayAlthough there were concerns about Davis’ back spasms during the game, the injury appears to be minor and he reassured reporters that he will be ready to play.
