(same old - AD & LBJ - Probable; Wenyen & JTA - Out; SPipJr & Swider - G League)

Other Side

This was their report coming into the Clippers game. Al Horford's wife apparently just gave birth so he won't re-join the Cs until they play Orlando on Friday.

Per Smith

Celtics Injury Report at LA Clippers tomorrow:

Danilo Gallinari - Left Knee ACL Repair - OUT
Al Horford - Personal Reasons - OUT
Robert Williams - Left Knee Surgery - OUT

https://twitter.com/keithsmithnba/status/1602100484260745217?s=46&t=kfwy9W1R6smXVxTlG6JF9w

Al Horford will miss both games in LA to finish up the six-game road trip, per Joe Mazzulla.

Horford has cleared health and safety protocols but is back in Boston after the birth of his fifth child, per many internet sleuths.

Horford will rejoin the team for Orlando on Friday.

IN GAME INJURIES - AD

No one knows yet

Per Goon
There was an early layup where AD came up limping on his right foot. After that last basket driving against Jokic, he's grimacing a bit and flexing it again. Not looking comfortable out there the last few possessions.

https://twitter.com/kylegoon/status/1603955026270908417?s=46&t=_vr_JmyWkJl1OnPF46yzrw

AD not on the bench or on the floor as we get going on the second half. Wondering if it's related to the below issue.

https://twitter.com/kylegoon/status/1603971798093008896?s=46&t=_vr_JmyWkJl1OnPF46yzrw

Anthony Davis will not return tonight due to a right foot injury.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT - AD'S MYSTERIOUS INJURY

Per Dr. Jeffries @GameInjuryDoc (video at links)

Never thought this could happen but AD essential sprained his ankle mid air 😳

https://twitter.com/GameInjuryDoc/status/1603957671719079936

This is the play AD got hurt on. Two things come to mind

—Stretch of the peroneals muscles (outside lower leg)
—Possible stretch on ankle ligaments

https://twitter.com/GameInjuryDoc/status/1603971765541437440

Anthony Davis has a right foot injury on this play right here

—Essentially foot got stuck in air and twisted catching Jokic’s leg

AD EVAL

Per McTen

A source familiar with Anthony Davis’ injury told ESPN the Lakers big man is experiencing discomfort in his right foot but there is hope Davis did not suffer anything severe. He will likely undergo an MRI for further evaluation

https://twitter.com/mcten/status/1603982695021043712?s=46&t=_vr_JmyWkJl1OnPF46yzrw

Darvin Ham termed Anthony Davis' injury a "foot issue." He said X-rays were administered at the arena tonight and that the team would have more information on Davis' injury tomorrow.

https://twitter.com/mcten/status/1603989408696242176?s=46&t=_vr_JmyWkJl1OnPF46yzrw

Per Buha

Darvin Ham says Anthony Davis is being evaluated by the Lakers’ medical team right now and will be further evaluated tomorrow.

https://twitter.com/jovanbuha/status/1603988807568674817?s=46&t=_vr_JmyWkJl1OnPF46yzrw

Per Goon

Darvin Ham doesn't want to speak more about Anthony Davis' right foot until he's evaluated tomorrow and there's more information available.

https://twitter.com/kylegoon/status/1603989250625507328?s=46&t=_vr_JmyWkJl1OnPF46yzrw

(The last one was in response to Dan Woike trying his level best "how worried are you about AD" which Ham cut him off and said he's not going to say anything until he has info tomorrow. At which point Dan Woike asked him something about AD *again* and Ham said again he wasn't gonna say anything until he had more info. Tryin it... lol )
