"He's undergoing further medical evaluation and we'll have more information tomorrow," Vogel told reporters. "He was saying that his knee was sore, but that there was no way he was not going to play. I thought he gave a heck of a run at it trying to compete through pain."

If the Lakers want to get back to the NBA Finals, they are going to need Davis to be healthy.
