Los Angeles Lakers Star Leaves Game With Injury

The Los Angeles Lakers made it through the play-in, and have now begun their series with the No. 2 seed Memphis Grizzlies, but unfortunately, one of their biggest stars has now had to leave the game after a very hot start.

Late in the second quarter, Anthony Davis collided with Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson, and subsequently went to the locker room, with ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that it's a stinger to his right arm, and is now undergoing testing.

The Lakers certainly have the talent to win some games without AD, but if they want to go all the way and get LeBron James his 5th career ring, they'll need the big man healthy and at his best, so this isn't a great sign.
