Darvin Ham says the Lakers are sitting Anthony Davis as a precaution

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Lakers' decision to sit Anthony Davis on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City is precautionary, with coach Darvin Ham saying the team wants to "monitor" the stress reaction in his right foot that cost him 20 games earlier this season.

"That's just what it is — being mindful," Ham said before the game. "With any type of stress reaction, the wear-and-tear, you constantly have to monitor that. We talked about all of that. We discussed it. And that's where it's at."

Davis played in the Lakers' loss to Memphis on Tuesday, and following that game, he was among the players citing the importance of Wednesday's game in Oklahoma City, with Dennis Schroder calling it a "must win."
