Anthony Davis has been facing problems since November 2023

Davis' durability has not been a concern this season, as he has appeared in the most games since 2019-20, when he played 62. However, he recently missed against the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics due to his hip and Achilles injuries.

The 31-year-old has been suffering from hip injuries since November, which is not good news for the Lakers as they look to climb the standings and become playoff contenders. 

The Los Angeles Lakers have struggled this season and are now ninth in the Western Conference with a 36-31 record. While the team has struggled as a whole, Davis is having a strong season, averaging 24.7 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 blocks in 63 games while shooting 55.2 percent from the field and 26.3 percent from three. 

If the Lakers want to make a postseason run, Anthony Davis will need to stay healthy.
