Just as the Los Angeles Lakers were starting to regain their mojo, the injury bug reared its ugly head again.
Superstar big man Anthony Davis suffered a left groin strain late in the first half of Game 4 of the Lakers’ playoff series against the Phoenix Suns and will miss the rest of the contest.

Davis has had an injury-riddled season. He missed several weeks during the regular season with a calf strain and Achilles tendonosis.
He returned late in the regular season, and he had two dominant performances in Game 2 and Game 3 against Phoenix.
Davis was already dealing with a left knee sprain that he sustained in Game 3.
Obviously, if he has to miss any significant time, it could singlehandedly kill the Lakers’ chances of winning back-to-back NBA championships.
