NBA: Lakers troubles on the road continue with loss to Pistons

He said: “I’ll talk to my trainer and just kind of figure out what exactly is going on.

“I’ve been managing it since this summer, honestly, and my goal for every game is to be on the floor. And I just kind of landed directly on the spot that’s been killing me. So, we’ll figure it out.

“We’re just two different teams right now. One game, we’re this team who showcased it can be one of the better teams in the league. Then the next, we’re this team who – I don’t even know who we are. So, we just got to be better.”

LeBron James, who contributed 20 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds, was uncertain about what Davis’ potential absence would mean for the team.

He said: “I don’t know. I’m going second by second. I don’t play the ‘if’ game.'”

In their recent games, the Lakers have struggled to maintain momentum, squandering a significant lead to the Phoenix Suns and suffering back-to-back losses to Cleveland and Detroit despite calling the latter games “must-wins.”

Now, the Lakers must regroup as they head into their next matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, hoping to stabilise their season and overcome recent setbacks.
