“You never want to play a big game without a guy like that", he said

One of Los Angeles Lakers’ leaders Anthony Davis injured his head in what appeared to be an inadvertent hit by Golden State’s Kevon Looney midway through the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 121-106 Game 5 victory in the Western Conference semifinals Wednesday night.

Davis sat on the bench before going to the locker room following the play with 7:43 remaining. Davis’ status for Game 6 on Friday night back in Los Angeles is unclear but coach Darivn Ham was optimistic after the evaluation and checks for concussion.

“Obviously, everyone saw he took a shot to the head, but we just checked in on him, he seems to be doing really good already,” Ham said. “That’s just where he’s at. That’s the status of it right now.”

“Obviously, AD is huge to what we do. I believe he’ll play, but if that’s not the case, we’re still a group of NBA basketball players that have played games without him this year,” Reaves said. “You never want to play a big game without a guy like that. But that’s the nature of the game.”
