LA needs Anthony Davis to be at full strength to bring the Splash Bros and Co.
The 30-year-old’s designation on the injury report only lists him as dealing with a right foot condition, as he is listed as “probable.”
Lakers coach Darvin Ham said of Davis on Thursday, “He feels great. Our medical staff gave us a great update. … (He shows) no signs of anything.”
