Lakers' Anthony Davis to face Kings after 1-game absence

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis will play Friday against the Sacramento Kings after sitting out a game to rest his injured shoulder and ribs, coach Frank Vogel said.

Davis won't be on any minutes restriction, according to Vogel.

"Went through shootaround today," Davis said Friday morning. "Felt good."

Davis is averaging 26.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.9 blocks this season.

L.A. routed the Golden State Warriors 120-94 with Davis on the sidelines. As pleased as he was to see his team perform well without him, it didn't motivate him to find more time to rest.
