An MRI on Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis’ lower back revealed no major injuries and he will make the team’s upcoming road trip, The Athletic reported Wednesday.
Davis took a hard fall while attempting to block a shot during the third quarter of Tuesday’s 117-87 rout of the New York Knicks in Los Angeles.
He received attention from the Lakers’ medical staff and the team later announced he had a bruised sacrum.
