Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis said he should be fit for the upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers despite back issues.
But Davis has praised Ham for the impact he has already had on the team. The forward stayed in the game for a couple of minutes, then left to stretch near the tunnel and returned to the court โ but he would walk gingerly until the end of the clash. But Davis explained he only went in the tunnel because of a rule change that doesnโt allow players to stand by the bench.

ANTHONY DAVIS was forced to leave the court prematurely during the Los Angeles Lakers' clash against the Clippers.
The Clippers scored nine points straight in 1:40 with Davis out of action, which almost certainly led to his return sooner than expected. Davis rotated over to help on Leonard after the Clippers star spun past Patrick Beverley. While the start to the season has been far from ideal for the Lakers, their fans undoubtedly collectively held their breath when Davis went down in the third quarter.
