Re: Anthony Davis: Corneal abrasions are relatively common in the NBA. Since the 2005-06 NBA season, the average time lost for an in-season corneal abrasion is 1.0 games (4.0 days). Other players to sustain the injury include Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and LeBron James. – 11:45 PM

Darvin Ham says Anthony Davis was elbowed in the eye and wasn’t able to see out of his left eye. The Lakers’ doctors were working on his eye into halftime but he wasn’t able to be cleared to return. – 11:17 PM

Tough to be upset about this loss. Just don’t know how your going to beat a healthy Warriors team without AD. Regardless, Lakers now 10th in the West – 11:14 PM

LAL thought they had the deficit down to 4 with 2:07 left when a LeBron 3, after an extensive review, was ruled no good.
Many minutes later, after another review, and several shot-clock malfunctions, LAL take a 128-121 loss that Anthony Davis (eye) left after the 1st Q. – 11:07 PM

Final: Warriors 128, Lakers 121
LA drops to 36-32. The Warriors (35-31) have a 2-1 lead in the season series and the inside track on the No. 9 seed. The biggest short-term concern for LA is AD’s eye, which led him to exit early. LeBron had 40/8/9.
Up next: vs. ATL on Monday. – 11:07 PM

Without Anthony Davis, the Lakers’ offense has become extremely perimeter-oriented. And by “extremely perimeter-oriented,” I also mean “not very good.” AK – 10:08 PM

With Anthony Davis in the locker room for the entire 2nd Q dealing with an eye injury, GSW erased what was as much as a 7-point lead to take a 67-66 lead at the half.
LAL struggled to get stops in allowing 37 points in that 2nd Q, even as they shot 57.4% as a team. – 9:36 PM

With no AD, and LeBron needing to rest, the Lakers are using a lineup of Rui Hachimura, Taurean Prince, Spencer Dinwiddie, Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell.
Steph Curry immediately got two uncontested layups. But LA responded with back-to-back baskets. – 9:29 PM

We’re awaiting an update on Anthony Davis, who got hit in the eye in that 1st Q.
He has yet to emerge from the locker room around the time he’d typically return in the 2nd Q. – 9:17 PM

Jaxson Hayes is in at the 3:41 mark as LeBron gets his first rest, giving LAL more size next to AD. GSW had a lot of success against smaller bench groups the last time these teams met, so an adjustment here from the Lakers. – 8:58 PM

More on this storyline
Davis left the arena without speaking to reporters. “When you’ve been preparing for a couple of days with our prep and you lose a key component to your team in one quarter, we tried to pick it up, but, obviously, there’s some things we can’t do without AD,” LeBron James said after the game. L.A. outscored Golden State by six in the 12 minutes Davis played, with the Lakers’ All-Star big man posting 8 points on 3-for-6 shooting, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. -via ESPN / March 17, 2024
