Anthony Davis was involved in a scuffle with Santi Aldama during the Lakers' game against the Grizzlies. Davis displayed an exceptional defensive performance, achieving 6 blocks and limiting the Grizzlies to 16 points in the paint. He also had an impressive overall performance with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists. However, it was noted that Davis seemed to be laboring due to a hip injury, which had been bothering him in recent games. This injury may have contributed to his subpar performance in subsequent games, where he struggled with discomfort and lower point production.
Anthony Davis had his worst performance of the season against the Kings on Wednesday. After, he did acknowledge his hip was bothering him, but refused to use it as an excuse for his play. @LakersSBN https://t.co/JjxkBOlBlj
Anthony Davis said he “played like s—” against the Kings. While he acknowledged his left hip, which experienced spasms last week, was bothering him, he said “I still got to go out there and do my job” https://t.co/W7trAxVuSz
Anthony Davis on his hip, which he’s been treating daily: “It is what it is … obviously it was bothering me a little bit.” He played 41 minutes on Sunday and 27 last night (Tuesday), and didn’t look to have his typical movement and burst tonight in 35 minutes.

Anthony Davis - averaging 23.4 ppg, 11.9 rpg and 3.3 bpg - certainly wasn't himself in the 1st half, going 1 for 6 for 4 points with 4 boards; he did appear to be in some discomfort throughout the half, a few games after suffering the hip spasm at Miami.
Anthony Davis is laboring a bit out there. Could have tweaked the adductor injury that caused him to miss time last week.
