Anthony Davis leaves Lakers season finale with back spasm, accuses Larry Nance Jr. of 'dangerous play'

The Los Angeles Lakers won their season finale Sunday but suffered a potential blow in the process when center Anthony Davis left the game with a back spasm.

Davis left the game with less than six minutes remaining in the Lakers' 123-103 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers secured the No. 8 seed in the West with the win to set up a rematch with the 7th-seeded Pelicans in a play-in game on Tuesday.

Davis said after the game that he's optimistic that the injury won't sideline him for Tuesday's game.
