Lakers coach Darvin Ham said after the game that Davis was the only player on the team currently suffering from an illness. “It progressively got worse,” Ham said of Davis’ sickness. “His temperature went over a 100, I believe it was 101 and some change. He said he was going to try and give it a go, which he did. But he just felt too weak, just too drained — dehydrated a little bit. But it’s that time of the season, in terms of wintertime, weather change, change of climate — coming from L.A. going to these different places.”

@Reggie Miller has Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis as his list of early #NBA MVP candidates.
So if you think Devin Booker should be on this list, who are you taking off this list?

Charting his scoring rates (points per shot, black line) and shot quality (expected points per shot, gray line) as 500-shot rolling averages you can see how Anthony Davis has experienced big changes in shot diet during his career (in addition to periods of 🔥 and 🧊shot making). pic.twitter.com/EDTRRPjn2Z – 7:48 PM

But Tuesday night in Cleveland, the plans had to change, and they had to change on the fly. Davis, maybe the best player in the NBA over the last three weeks, had to leave the floor with flu-like symptoms. He didn’t return. “Next man up … but that’s a tall task — figuratively and literally,” said LeBron James, who had 21 points and 17 rebounds. -via Los Angeles Times / December 7, 2022
Mike Trudell: Anthony Davis will not return tonight due to flu-like symptoms. -via Twitter @LakersReporter / December 6, 2022
Brad Turner: Lakers say that Anthony Davis (low back tightness) and LeBron James (left ankle soreness) have been upgraded to AVAILABLE for tonight’s game at Cleveland. -via Twitter @BA_Turner / December 6, 2022
Dave McMenamin: Darvin Ham, with a good one-liner, explaining LeBron James 17-2 career record vs. the Cavs: “It could be that he likes putting on a show for his hometown fans or, that he really doesn’t like Dan Gilbert” -via Twitter @mcten / December 6, 2022
His 55 points are the second-most scored by an NBA player this season. Sunday, he barely missed while dominating the glass and at the rim, becoming the first player since Patrick Ewing to score at least 50 on 70% shooting with 15-plus rebounds and three-plus blocked shots. Ewing did it 32 years ago. Davis was 22-of-30 shooting from the field Sunday — including two of three from deep — plus a perfect nine of nine from the free-throw line. He was unquestionably the best player on the court. “We’ve been talking all summer about him just being the go-to guy. I told him none of this is going to work if he’s not right,” coach Darvin Ham said. “Not only available to play, but playing at an extremely high level, which he’s doing right now. I’ve said that to him, to the team, you guys. Like, we need AD to be special in order for us to get to where we need to get to.” -via Los Angeles Times / December 5, 2022
Mike Trudell: Darvin Ham on AD’s recent dominance: “The foremost thing is health. I think he’s feeling great … he’s having fun playing the game of basketball pain free … he’s not settling. He’s really attacking the rim … defending at a really high level.” -via Twitter @LakersReporter / December 4, 2022
