Davis, who is averaging 27.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in three games vs. Phoenix, is listed as “questionable” on the injury report heading into Sunday’s Game 4 at Staples Center (3:30 ET; ABC).
During Frank Vogel’s pregame media availability, the Lakers head coach confirmed that Davis would be playing. He also mentioned Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, forced from Game 3 by a left knee bruise, would be a gametime decision.
Frank Vogel says AD is in and KCP is a gametime decision for Game 4. Both are currently warming up on the court.
