It was the first time the big man scored fewer than 20 points in a game this season. He has five double-doubles in eight games, and his 11.1 rebounds per game are his highest mark since joining the Lakers in the 2019-20 season.

Questionable Sunday Davis (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact There's seemingly no end in sight for Davis' questionable designation before every game due to lower back tightness. The Lakers even excused him from shootaround before Friday's matchup so he could rest. He's played well, though. Over the past three games, he's averaged 21.7 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 blocks in 36.3 minutes.

Quiet after first quarter in loss Davis closed with 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 130-116 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Davis started the game on a high note, dropping 14 points and hammering down multiple dunks in the first quarter. The big man slowed down considerably after that, however, tallying just eight more points the rest of the contest. He also grabbed a modest eight boards in a game during which Los Angeles was outrebounded by eight and torched for 45 combined points between Jazz big men Kelly Olynyk and Lauri Markkanen. Davis' numbers (23.0 points, 11.0 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.3 blocks per game) have been very good this season, but that hasn't helped the Lakers avoid a poor 2-6 start.

Impact Davis is fighting through back soreness but has still posted four consecutive double-doubles while averaging 21.8 points, 13.8 boards, 3.5 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.8 steals in 36.5 minutes during this stretch. Davis' chances of playing Friday reportedly haven't changed, but it's a bad sign that he needs rest so early in the year.

Questionable Friday Davis (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Impact Davis has been dealing with lingering back issues this season, causing him to miss one game thus far, and he is listed as questionable for Friday. With the injury being relatively minor and the Lakers consistently listing Davis and LeBron James (foot) on the injury report, it would be a bit of a surprise to see Davis sit.
