The Lakers will have to buckle down with their superstar big man on the sidelines. The team currently finds itself at 13-18 on the season and has lost its last two consecutive games.

According to another update from NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Lakers plan to re-evaluate Anthony Davis' injury in 7-10 days to see if he can return to play. Before his injury, Davis had a six-game stretch that saw him average 33.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks while shooting 66.1 percent from the field.

The Lakers are set to take on the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. After that, they will hit the road to take on the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas. Los Angeles currently finds itself in 13th place in the Western Conference standings.
