Lakers without Anthony Davis (calf) against Spurs

SAN ANTONIO -- Los Angeles Lakers star big man Anthony Davis is sitting out Saturday's game against the Spurs because of a left calf contusion.

"He was kicked at some point in the second half [Friday] night and it's a little irritated, a little bruising," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said before the game. "So just trying to stay ahead of it and be a little cautious and take our time with it. But he's out."

Thomas Bryant started in his place.

Davis had 25 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks in Los Angeles' win over San Antonio on Friday, continuing a hot stretch in which he has averaged 33.
