For tonight’s clash against the Rockets, Anthony Davis is not going to suit up.
After the LAL-NOLA contest got over, head coach Darvin Ham revealed that AD would be rested for the second night of the back-to-back.
Darvin Ham said Anthony Davis – 35P, 17R in the win – won’t play tomorrow night on the 2nd night of a B2B. That’s still the plan with the medical staff to hold him out of B2B’s that was put in place prior to his return to play from the stress reaction in his foot.

Despite LeBron and AD not suiting up tonight, the Lakers shouldn’t have a hard time in grabbing a victory.
