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.
The Lakers — who were already without Christian Wood, Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish — led 36-30 when Davis last checked out. The Warriors proceeded to outscore them 98-85 for the remainder of the game, including 31 points from Stephen Curry, who was scoreless at the time of the injury.
With Davis out, LeBron James took over even more than usual, posting 40 points on 15-of-23 shooting, nine assists and eight rebounds. Davis had eight points, four rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes of play.
Davis' injury might not have been the ugliest moment of the game, as a shot clock malfunction resulted in a 16-minute delay over a stretch of 15 seconds of game time late in the fourth quarter. The final two minutes of the game ended up taking 23 minutes and 27 seconds to play.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
