The Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis, wearing a brace beneath his sweats on his left knee, said he’s fine mentally and ready to attack his rehab from an MCL sprain: “Obviously avoided a major injury, which has kinda got my spirits back up because I just didn’t know.”

Davis described the pain in his knee and the turmoil he felt when he collapsed in the tunnel in Minnesota after limping across the floor. He thought it was worse: “I did hear something pop – and the first thing I thought of was that. … Thank God it wasn’t that.”
