Anthony Davis misses Golden State Warriors game due to headache

Los Angeles Lakers star player Anthony Davis has been ruled out against the Golden State Warriors game on Tuesday evening. The team made an announcement ahead of the game. He is not available due to nausea and headache.

According to Los Angeles Lakers coach Darvin Ham, Anthony Davis was declared out around 90 minutes before starting Tuesday night's game. As per AP News, "He showed up to the arena trying to do everything he could to play, but just couldn't overcome the headache and the nausea," he explained.

In the current season of NBA 2023/24, Anthony Davis is having a great season as he is averaging 24.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 blocks, 12.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. While his shooting from the field is 55.4% and beyond the arch is 28%. So far, he has managed to make 74 game appearances which is the most he played since 2017/18 where he made 75 appearances. This time Los Angeles Lakers needed him the most. As Los Angeles Lakers are in ninth position in the Western Conference and are in a play-in spot. Their most recent defeat was against the Minnesota Timberwolves by 127-117.

He's extremely valuable - Darvin Ham

Before getting injured Anthony Davis played for 12 minutes scored as he scored four points, three assists, two steals, and four rebounds. Following their game against Golden State, the Lakers will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday evening.

According to Bleacher Report, "He's extremely valuable," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said of Davis on Sunday after he left the team's 127-117 loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves with an eye injury. "Everyone around here knows that. Everything he brings on both sides of the ball, it's tough."

That he will miss another game is not ideal as Golden State Warriors aims for an automatic playoff place rather than having to compete in the Play-In Tournament once more. While he is sidelined, Jaxson Hayes will likely take his place in the starting lineup.
