Anthony Davis is dealing with a bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and hip spasm issue. The former is a non-contact injury endured due to excessive workload. The latter was a contact injury. He suffered that issue in November against the Miami Heat. Davis has aggravated the injury multiple times.
Despite these ailments bothering him for multiple weeks, Davis has missed only four games this season. He’s been reliable, which has been critical to the Lakers’ staying afloat amid injury issues to other players.
Anthony Davis has played 18 games against the Detroit Pistones, averaging 28.8 ppg, 11.3 rpg and 2.7 apg on 58.3% shooting. He holds a 17-1 record against them. Davis had 28 points, 16 rebounds, four assists and three blocks when the teams last met on Nov. 29, 2023. He guided the Lakers to a 133-107 win.
The Pistons were amid the worst stretch in NBA and franchise history back then. However, things have slightly improved for the “Motor City” after the trade deadline with some veteran additions. Detroit has signed Evan Fournier, Troy Brown Jr. and Shake Milton.
