The Los Angeles Lakers will be without star big man Anthony Davis for at least a week due to an abdominal strain.
The injury occurred during the first quarter of Tuesday’s 118-104 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
“Davis will return to Los Angeles today and be re-evaluated in approximately one week,” the team said Wednesday.
Davis had four points with two rebounds in 10 minutes before departing with 2:10 left in the opening quarter.
Playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Davis was coming off a 42-point, 23-rebound performance Monday in a road victory over the Charlotte Hornets. It was the fifth 40-20 game of his career.
