Davis was doubtful to play Sunday after hurting his left eye in the Lakers’ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Ham reports that LeBron James will be a game-time decision, but Davis is out for sure.

James did not attend the Lakers’ walkthrough at Crypto.com Arena, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, who made the announcement just after 5 p.m. PT.As of Tuesday’s game, the Lakers held a 1.5-game lead over the Warriors for the ninth spot in the Western Conference.
On Tuesday, the Warriors will face the Lakers at full strength, while the Lakers will be without key player Dario Saric.

The Dubs vs. Lakers play-in game, according to Skip, would be the best showdown in NBA history
The Warriors and the Lakers are still in a heated playoff race, but if the two teams meet in the NBA Play-In Tournament, Skip Bayless says it would be a must-watch game.
As the 2023–24 NBA regular season nears its conclusion, Bayless, speaking on Tuesday’s edition of “Undisputed,” detailed the Warriors’ impressive play.
Their appearance has changed during the past eight games, according to Bayless. “It’s starting to look like the Golden State Warriors to me; they’re clicking like Golden State.”As the No. 9 and No. 10 seeds, the Warriors and the Lakers are poised to meet in a winner-take-all game in Los Angeles. The veteran analyst thinks this would be the best play-in matchup in the tournament’s history.
It would be the most epic 9-10 play-in game you’ve ever imagined if Steph Curry and LeBron James were to face off in Los Angeles, win or lose, according to Bayless.
Because of the high stakes of the play-in and the presence of so many talented players, the Lakers’ and Warriors’ game is sure to be an exciting one. After meeting in four consecutive games, James and Curry have become two of the most famous basketball players in the world.The Warriors and Lakers have met twice since signing with Los Angeles: once in the 2021 play-in game and again in last season’s Western Conference semifinals. James and Anthony Davis carried the Los Angeles Lakers to victory in both games, ending the season for the Warriors.
Klay Thompson is still attempting to maintain consistent shooting stats, and the Warriors’ offense has been lacking without Steph Curry. Despite moments of brilliance, the Warriors have fallen to the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference due to a string of costly mistakes and missed opportunities.
Similarly, Los Angeles has had its share of struggles this season. However, if the rankings remain unchanged, Golden State will have its work cut out for it at home in a must-win play-in game against the otherworldly Davis and James.
Even if the Warriors could yet improve their playoff position, the more probable result is likely to be the continuation of the James-Curry rivalry.
