LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis, a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, sustained an abdominal strain on Tuesday and will undergo a further assessment in about a week.

The injury transpired in the first quarter of the Lakers’ game, where they suffered a 118-104 defeat against the Philadelphia 76ers. As time was running down in the first quarter, with just 2:10 remaining, Davis exited the game, making his way to the locker room while holding his right hand over his abdomen.

On Wednesday, Lakers officials provided an update on the nature of Davis’ injury, confirming that he has returned to Los Angeles and will be evaluated again in roughly a week.

In the meantime, the Lakers are scheduled to face the Washington Wizards on Thursday, followed by a game against the New York Knicks on Saturday. They will then return home for a matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers the following Tuesday.

Currently, Davis is having a strong season, averaging 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, highlighting his importance to the team.
