In a concerning development for the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis aggravated a lingering left foot injury during Monday’s 115-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Despite scoring 37 points, Davis’s injury in the fourth quarter adds to the Lakers’ mounting road trip struggles.

The Lakers, who started the season 3-0, have now dropped to 4-3 overall and 1-3 on their current five-game road trip. Davis, who leads the league with 32.6 points per game, experienced discomfort after landing awkwardly with 4:46 remaining in the game.

”I’ve been managing it since this summer,” Davis said after the game. “I just kind of landed directly on the spot that’s been killing me.” While sources tell ESPN that Davis hasn’t been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the injury will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. The foot issue has troubled Davis since last season and through the Paris Olympics.

LeBron James, who contributed 20 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds in the loss, remained cautious about discussing Davis’s potential absence. “I don’t play the ‘if’ game,” James said. “We’ll go off what AD says and see how he feels over the next couple of days.”

The Lakers’ inconsistent performance has become a growing concern. “We’re just two different teams right now,” Davis noted. “One game, we’re this team who showcased it can be one of the better teams in the league. Then the next, we’re this team who — I don’t even know who we are.”

Coach JJ Redick expressed disappointment in his team’s performance, as the Lakers struggled against teams that didn’t make the playoffs last season.
