Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis is officially listed as questionable for Game 5 against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, but there is “pessimism” surrounding his status, according to ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.
Davis sat out the second half of Phoenix’s 100-92 victory in Game 4 on Sunday after injuring his groin. He entered the game with a knee injury as well.
The defending champion Lakers could have to play two of the remaining games on the road, with both Game 5 and a potential Game 7 slated for Phoenix. If he’s unable to go, there will be even more pressure on LeBron James to carry the scoring and leadership roles for the Lakers.
