Davis had 10 points in 17 minutes prior to exiting.

Nicknamed “Street Clothes” due to his propensity to get injured, Davis has played in 25 of the Lakers’ 28 games this season. He has averaged 27.4 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. He had been a big scorer this month, with a 44-point and 55-point effort in the Lakers’ first two games of December.

Thomas Bryant figures to see plenty of action for the Lakers with Davis hurt.
