Lakers' Anthony Davis leaves game with bruised sacrum, expected to miss next two games

The plan is for Davis to undergo an MRI on Tuesday night, and he is expected to miss the upcoming road trip in Dallas & Oklahoma City to rehab

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis left the game against the New York Knicks after a hard fall.

Per ESPN, Davis was injured when he fell awkwardly while trying to block the shot of New York’s Julius Randle . Davis pounded the court in obvious pain after his hard landing, and he stayed down for about two minutes in a hushed Staples Center.

Davis’ agent, Rich Paul, emerged from the Lakers’ locker room after the injury and said X-rays on Davis’ back were negative, but the superstar is feeling sore. The Lakers described the injury as a bruised sacrum — the lower part of the spine near the tailbone.

The plan is for Davis to undergo an MRI on Tuesday night, and he is expected to miss the upcoming road trip in Dallas & Oklahoma City to rehab.
