The Los Angeles Lakers got a big-time victory on the final day of the regular season, but it may have come at a cost.
The Lakers blew out the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday by a 124-108 final score to clinch a berth in the 7-8 play-in game (rather than going down to the 9-10 bracket and having to win two straight play-in games). But the Lakers got a big scare late in the fourth quarter with the game already decided.
Lakers star big man Anthony Davis was injured with under six minutes left on a put-back attempt. Davis was trying to follow up a missed layup by Gabe Vincent when he got pushed in the back by Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. and came up hobbled.
He left the game with the injury and did not return.
