Anthony Davis will miss at least four weeks after suffering an MCL sprain in his left knee.

The Lakers initially called the injury a knee contusion before an MRI on Saturday revealed the sprain.
Davis, who missed two games earlier this week due to knee soreness, is averaging 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists this season.
The 16-14 Lakers are also with Davis' backup Dwight Howard, who is one of four players on the team currently in the league's health and safety protocols.
