Davis limps off court on his own

Davis suffered the injury while driving toward the basket past Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. He grimaced when he planted his right leg and came up limping after being fouled by Jokic on the play. He reached down to clutch his right ankle, but was able to remain in the game momentarily to shoot free throws.

The Lakers then fouled to allow Davis to exit the game with 2:36 remaining in the first half. He gingerly walked to the locker room on his own.

Davis missed time last week with Achilles ailment

Davis missed two games last week after being diagnosed with right Achilles tendonosis, a chronic tendon ailment. Sunday marked his second game back from the injury.

Davis, a seven-time All-Star, is averaging 22.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.9 blocks while shooting 53.5 percent from the field. The Nuggets won the game, 122-105.
