James is still bargaining with a high-ankle sprain. He was limited to 24 points on the 9-of-19 shooting. Dennis Schroder assumed to pick up some of the scoring slack in Davis’ stead, went scoreless, and missed all nine of his shots.
But if there is a bright spot for the defending champs, it would be the return of Davis on Thursday night at Staples Center.

“Hopefully all the rehab and treatment that I’m doing pays off and the doctors clear me to go tomorrow,” Davis said Wednesday. “I’m getting more treatment tonight, tomorrow and I’ll talk to the doctors before and after I shoot, and hopefully, everything comes back good where they can clear me. That’s what we’re hoping for.“
