Lakers big man Anthony Davis exits Christmas game with sprained left ankle

Associated Press  

SAN FRANCISCO — LeBron James and the Lakers delivered once more when big man Anthony Davis went down. Davis didn’t return for Los Angeles against Golden State on Wednesday night after spraining his left ankle midway through the first quarter. “It’s always difficult to play without AD, so I guess our job is even more heightened, we have to do a little bit more,” James said after the Lakers’ 115-113 victory. I thought guys did a great job of just playing off one another, getting to where we wanted to get to offensively and also being able to buckle down and get timely stops versus a really good offensive team.” Davis stepped awkwardly and rolled the ankle while moving through the paint toward the Lakers basket and exited with 4:48 remaining in the quarter.
