The Los Angeles Lakers have listed Anthony Davis as questionable for Monday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks due to a left corneal abrasion. The injury occurred during the first quarter of Saturday night's game against the Golden State Warriors when Davis was inadvertently hit in the face by Warriors forward Trayce Jackson-Davis while scoring on a layup. Despite initially continuing to play, Davis eventually had to leave the game and did not return.
A source familiar with Davis' injury has reported that the Lakers' big man began to feel improvement on Saturday night and has continued to progress positively on Sunday. Davis has displayed durability throughout the season, making his 65th appearance in the 69 games the Lakers have played, including the recent victory over the Indiana Pacers.
The Warriors emerged victorious in the game against the Lakers with a score of 128-121, allowing them to move ahead of the Lakers in the Western Conference standings by a slim margin of .530 to .529 in terms of winning percentage. The Lakers currently hold a record of 36-32, while the Warriors stand at 35-31.
