Sources: Anthony Davis suffers Grade 1 thumb sprain; to undergo MRI

[Dwight Howard]

This was always the danger in trading for AD

This team is about to be unwatchable.

If this is true and he’s out exactly 30 days, he’ll miss 11 games, and out of those 11, 5 of them were playoff teams from last season.

a 6-5 or 5-6 start wouldn’t be far fetched.

shyt I'm assuming the Lakers can play near 500 ball even without AD and Kuz but if Lebron goes down it may be a struggle.

Sooner or later AD is going to have to play with injury.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Looks like Bron sliding to the four unless they do McGhee/Howard

 

[Morethan1]

AD is always hurt smh

No he's not.

 

[NoMorePie]

Oh no

 

[pete clemenza]

I'm hearing there's no ligament damage. Probably out a week or so

 

[bigdaddy88]

And it begins

 

[DrexlersFade]

Lakers

Coming from a Spurs fan one more time "Lakers"

 

[VegetasHairline]

Having a thumb injury gotta be a top 3 corniest sport injury. Breh might as well have an inflamed earlobe.

Lakers lost.

Try tying your shoes without using your thumbs. Try picking something up without using your thumbs.

 

[NatiboyB]

No he's not.

Ok he always misses games due to a random assortment of injures other players have played with.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Oh no

Got emmmm!!!!!!! Mofos had all that smoke after that dubs game

 

[Lakerman0834]

Pelican fans hurt spreading fake news

Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania)
Initial exams on Lakers star Anthony Davis' right thumb showed no ligament damage, believed to be a Grade 1 sprain, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Davis will undergo an MRI on Sunday.

 

[Morethan1]

Oh no

How long does it take to recover from a sprained thumb? A mild sprain should heal in about six weeks if you wear a splint or cast and do rehabilitation exercises.
