Anthony Davis Plans To Play On Thursday

Lakers big man Anthony Davis was a full participant at today’s practice and plans to be ready for the team’s first reseeding game Thursday against the Clippers, tweets Mike Trudell of Spectrum.

Davis has been dealing with pain since being poked in his right eye during Saturday’s scrimmage. He was held out of the team’s final scrimmage Monday and missed practice Tuesday, but was feeling much better today. “The eye is getting better,” he said.

Davis explained that light sensitivity was the main issue with the eye, tweets Tim Bontemps of ESPN. Team doctors will re-evaluate his condition tonight before making a final decision (Twitter link). Davis didn’t suffer a concussion or any type of serious head injury, adds Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register (Twitter link).

At today’s practice, Davis was sporting protective eyewear to make sure the eye didn’t suffer any further damage, Bontemps tweets. Davis doesn’t expect to need it for games, but he wanted to be accustomed to it in case he does.
