Davis was injured in the first quarter of Saturday night’s game once morest Golden State following Warriors forward Trayce Jackson-Davis inadvertently hit him in the face while scoring on a layup. He continued playing for the next few minutes but eventually left the game and did not return.
A source close to Davis’ injury revealed to ESPN that the Lakers man began to feel improvement on Saturday night and continued to improve throughout Sunday.
While Davis had to exit early, he has been quite durable this season. Saturday marked his 65th appearance in the 69 games Los Angeles has played, including the season championship victory over the Indiana Pacers.
The Warriors (35-31) won 128-121 to lead the Lakers (36-32) by one percentage point (.530 to .529) for ninth place in the Western Conference standings.
