The former University of Kentucky standout also didn’t play on Monday night due to the same condition.
Davis has gotten off to a slow start offensively, and according to head coach Frank Vogel, it’s because he has been dealing with an assortment of ailments.
However, starting on the Lakers’ seven-game road trip a couple of weeks ago, Davis started to step it up in the scoring department.
