Anthony Davis (fever) out vs. Pacers

Just as the Lakers were regaining full health, Lakers big Anthony Davis has been ruled out with a fever, causing him to miss Wednesday’s game vs. the Pacers at Indiana’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

It will be his first absence of the season, stripping the Lakers of a steadying presence during this rocky, 9-10 opening. ESPN’s Dave McMenamin was first to report the news.
