Lakers' Anthony Davis bothered by shoulder injury
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis admitted that his shoulder is a lingering issue after Sunday's 113-104 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Davis initially injured his shoulder last week and aggravated it on Sunday. "There's never a play I don't feel it," Davis said. "But I'm going to go out there and play, I try not to let it affect my game. I just play through it and then worry about taking care of it after the game." The Lakers open a back-to-back on Tuesday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Davis held out for one of those contests, but it doesn't sound like the offseason acquisition is at risk of an extended absence. He scored 27 points (10-of-20 field goals, 5-of-6 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks, 2 3-pointers, and 5 turnovers in 37.7 minutes against the Raptors.
AD is averaging 53.2 FanDuel points through nine games. numberFire's models project him for 25.2 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.5 steals, 2.6 blocks, and 0.7 triples per contest over the rest of the season.
