MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis will not play Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies as he recovers from a left heel contusion, Lakers coach JJ Redick announced before the game.
Davis was hurt during the Lakers 115-103 loss to the Pistons in Detroit on Monday night. Davis played 39 minutes in the game, scoring 37 points and grabbing nine rebounds.
Redick said he has no diagnosis for the injury and categorized it as soreness. He hopes Davis will be ready for Friday's home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
“I don't expect to go through this Friday,” Redick said. “I think for all of us, we want to take a long-term view of our players' health.”
Davis has started all seven games for the Lakers, who have a 4-3 record entering Wednesday night's action. He is averaging 32.6 points and 11.6 rebounds, while playing more than 36 minutes a game.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s motorcade took a different route than usual to the airport as he was departing Florida on Sunday due to a “suspicious object,” according to the White House.
The object, which the White House did not describe, was discovered during security sweeps in advance of Trump’s arrival at Palm Beach International Airport.
“A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Sunday.
The president, when asked about the package by reporters, said, “I know nothing about it.”
Trump left his Palm Beach, Florida, club, Mar-a-Lago, around 6:20 p.m. for the roughly 10-minute drive to the airport, but took a circular route around the city to get there.
During the drive, police officers on motorcycles created a moving blockade for the motorcade, at one point almost colliding with the vans that accompanied Trump.
Air Force One was parked on the opposite side of the airport from where it is usually located and the lights outside the plane were turned off.
Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman for U.S. Secret Service, said the secondary route was taken just as a precaution and that “that is standard protocol.”
