Lakers’ Anthony Davis (abdominal) out at least a week

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without star big man Anthony Davis for at least a week due to an abdominal strain.

The injury occurred during the first quarter of Tuesday’s 118-104 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

“Davis will return to Los Angeles today and be re-evaluated in approximately one week,” the team said Wednesday.

Davis had four points with two rebounds in 10 minutes before departing with 2:10 left in the opening quarter.

Playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Davis was coming off a 42-point, 23-rebound performance Monday in a road victory over the Charlotte Hornets. It was the fifth 40-20 game of his career.

The 31-year-old has missed three of the Lakers’ 45 games this season. Los Angeles was 2-1 in those games.

The time off means Davis will miss road games against the Washington Wizards (Thursday) and the New York Knicks (Saturday). Los Angeles faces the cross-town Clippers next Tuesday.

Playing in his 13th NBA season, Davis is averaging a team-leading 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game. The nine-time All-Star has averaged 24.2 points with 10.7 rebounds over 778 career games (771 starts) for the New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans (2012-19) and the Lakers.
