According to The Athletic, Davis is currently listed as day-to-day with a Grade 1 groin strain, but the Lakers are being optimistic that he will return as the first-round series progresses. Following the Game 4 loss to the Suns, head coach Frank Vogel provided an update on the superstar.

"He's undergoing further medical evaluation and we'll have more information tomorrow," Vogel told reporters. "He was saying that his knee was sore, but that there was no way he was not going to play. I thought he gave a heck of a run at it trying to compete through pain."
If the Lakers want to get back to the NBA Finals, they are going to need Davis to be healthy.
