Anthony Davis expected to play on opening night for Lakers

Lakers to waive Shaquille Harrison, Nate Pierre Louis and Jay Huff

Out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ six preseason games this month, Anthony Davis suited up for only three of them due to lower back tightness.

When he did play, he looked like his old, dominant self, grabbing rebounds with regularity, blocking shots and scoring with ease and efficiency.

The fact that Davis only played in half of L.A.’s exhibition games raised concern among fans, not to mention criticism. Of course, his ability to stay healthy will be a major key to the Lakers’ chances of returning to the playoffs and being very competitive.

As the regular season opener approaches, the good news is that Davis isn’t only expected to play, but he won’t have any restrictions.

It looks like Davis not playing in the team’s final exhibition contest on Friday was purely precautionary, and that he will be good to go moving forward unless he somehow aggravates his back ailment at some point.
