Anthony Davis exits Los Angeles Lakers' game vs. Utah Jazz with ankle injury
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis exited Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz with a right ankle injury.
A source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Davis was getting X-rays on the ankle during halftime of the game.
Davis came down on Rudy Gobert's heel and his ankle turned outward, causing him to fall to the floor and clutch his lower right leg in pain.
L.A. called timeout with 3:00 remaining in the second quarter, and Stanley Johnson subbed in for Davis after he was helped off the court and to the locker room by teammates Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan.
Davis had 17 points on 7-for-9 shooting at the time of the injury.
L.A. trailed Utah 53-46 at the half after starting the game on an 11-0 run.
