After winning eight of 10 games, the Los Angeles Lakers have lost two games in a row, and health problems are starting to pile up.
Anthony Davis, who has been on an absolute tear lately, left the first quarter of Tuesday’s game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers with flu-like symptoms. He didn’t suit up the following night when L.A. lost to the Toronto Raptors.
LeBron James also missed the Raptors contest with left ankle soreness. To make matters worse, forward Juan Toscano-Anderson sprained his ankle in that contest and was forced to leave.
He will miss at least two weeks.
Although he hasn’t played much, his injury is a minor blow to a Lakers team that has lacked viable depth at the forward position.
That lack of depth has been accentuated by the absence of 6-foot-9 Wenyen Gabriel, who has been out for the last two games with a left shoulder sprain.
