Overview

  • Anthony Davis exited in the first quarter and was ruled out at halftime with left lower-leg soreness after appearing to grab his left leg near the heel.
  • Davis entered the game listed as probable for bilateral Achilles tendinopathy on the pregame injury report.
  • Coach Jason Kidd said Davis tried to return but the team chose not to risk it and will reassess his status after additional evaluation.
