LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis is in the Los Angeles Lakers' starting lineup Thursday night as they face playoff elimination in Game 6 of their first-round series against the Phoenix Suns. Davis missed the second half of Game 4 and all of Game 5 after the eight-time All-Star injured his groin last weekend at Staples Center. The defending NBA champion Lakers lost both games to fall to a 3-2 series deficit and the brink of an early postseason exit. Davis scored 34 points apiece while leading the Lakers to victories in Games 2 and 3, but his tentative play in Game 1 was a key factor in Los Angeles' series-opening loss.
