The Los Angeles Lakers will likely be without Anthony Davis for their Game 5 matchup against the Phoenix Suns after he suffered a left groin strain in the second quarter of their game on Sunday. According to The Athletic , Davis is currently listed as day-to-day with a Grade 1 groin strain, but the Lakers are being optimistic that he will return as the first-round series progresses. Following the Game 4 loss to the Suns, head coach Frank Vogel provided an update on the superstar. If the Lakers want to get back to the NBA Finals, they are going to need Davis to be healthy. Davis only played in 36 of 72 possible games this season due to calf and Achilles tendon injuries.
