Anthony Davis's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both active ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both players are back in the mix after sitting out of Thursday's contest. The return of these players means that Jaxson Hayes will head back to the bench. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) was starting for James, but he suffered an injury during Thursday's game. As a result, Vanderbilt will miss time, which should mean more minutes for Rui Hachimura and Hayes in the rotation. Fantasy managers can get James and Davis back in their lineups for Saturday.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both Davis and LeBron James (ankle) were forced to sit out on Thursday. That resulted in Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) and Jaxson Hayes moving into the starting unit. Sadly, Vanderbilt wasn't able to finish the contest and is now expected to miss multiple weeks. The Lakers would be extremely shorthanded if both Davis and James miss Saturday's game. That being said, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes could be asked to take on heavy roles. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Saturday for another update on their status.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. It'll be Davis' second straight absence while banged up with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and a left hip spasm, and he'll target a return for Saturday's showdown against the sizzling-hot New York Knicks in the fifth game of L.A.'s six-game road trip. With LeBron James (ankle) also out on Thursday, the Lakers' frontcourt will be severely undermanned. It's a big upgrade for the matchup outlook of Kristaps Porzingis, but this game now carries significant blowout risk. Jaxson Hayes started in Tuesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks and will do so again on Thursday alongside Jarred Vanderbilt, per The Athletic's Jovan Buha. More will be asked of Christian Wood and Rui Hachimura from the bench against Boston.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's marquee matchup against the Celtics. Davis didn't play Tuesday's against Atlanta in the second leg of a back-to-back. It was only the third game he's missed all season. He has a chance to return to action on Thursday, but we won't know for sure until the team officially declares him available. Jaxson Hayes started against the Hawks in Davis' absence, while Christian Wood also played a larger role.

The Los Angeles Lakers say centerAnthony Davis (Achilles/hip) is out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Davis is banged up with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and a left hip spasm, so the Lakers will hold out the 30-year-old two-way superstar on the second leg of a back-to-back and the third contest of their current six-game road trip on Tuesday. With LeBron James (ankle) questionable against the Hawks, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood, and Jaxson Hayes may be needed to fill up heavy frontcourt playing time.
