- Anthony Davis sustained a left heel contusion during the Lakers' loss to the Detroit Pistons, leading to his absence from the game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
- Lakers coach JJ Redick has not conducted any medical imaging on Davis' injury but remains hopeful for his return in the next game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
