Anthony Davis suffers sprained thumb injury vs. Nets

[Turbo Slayer]

Is the LA Lakers going to recover from this? Looking foward to your comments.

[Manny98]

Looking like another rough year for the Lakers

[Akeem34TheDream]

LeBron James is the best player in the world, he should be able to carry his team.

[TommyGriffin]

AD injured already. LeBron can't make layups.

Gonna be a long year for my Lakers.

[bigkingsfan]

Looks like AD already activated playoff mode.

[ImKobe]

Sprained thumb? out for 2 months.

He said AD, not LeBron

[G0ATbe]

5th mvp on the way

[Jay-B]

Crazy to think that without AD in the lineup the Lakers are a worse team then last year

[Meticode]

Probably already going to miss time. It'll be the beginning of the season, Lakers will be cautious and sit him for the long run...so he can come back and injury himself around playoff time like he usually does.

about six weeks

How long does it take to recover from a sprained thumb? A mild sprain should heal in about six weeks if you wear a splint or cast and do rehabilitation exercises. A more serious sprain may take several months to heal before you regain most of your thumb's function again, especially if you had UCL surgery.

"Davis initially stayed in the game, getting the thumb taped during a break in the action, but then retreated to the locker room between the first and second quarters, and an ice pack was taped to his right hand.

If it was that bad, he probably wouldn't have stayed in the game after it initially happened.

Say it isn

It's one of those things where adrenaline hides the discomfort. I mean, he could probably play through it. I mean Kobe played with a torn ligament in his hand, but almost no one has the mentality of Kobe and Davis is a big baby and soft physically when it comes to injuries.

He should just stay in China. Perfect place for someone who likes other people to tell them what to do with their lives.
