The Los Angeles Lakers lost 128-121 to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, sustaining an injury in the process.
Lakers star Anthony Davis exited the game in the first quarter after getting inadvertently touched in the eye on a drive past Warriors rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis. Davis was in clear discomfort after the play and soon exited the floor.
The Lakers later announced he would not return due to an eye contusion.
