Anthony Davis leaves Lakers’ loss with flu-like symptoms

CLEVELAND — Los Angeles Lakers star big man Anthony Davis exited in the first half of Tuesday night’s 116-102 loss to the Cavaliers with flu-like symptoms and did not return.

Davis totaled just one point, going 1-for-3 from the free throw line, with three rebounds and two assists in eight minutes.

Davis came into the night on a tear, averaging 35.3 points on 64.8% from the field, 45.5% from 3 and 88% from the foul line with 15.6 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in his past nine games.

He was named the NBA’s Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday, having helped LA to a three-game winning streak coming into the Cavs game.
