Los Angeles Lakers star big man Anthony Davis left a meeting with the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday after rolling his ankle in the first quarter.

Davis simply walked the field as he tweaked his left foot down in the restricted area. He opted out of the contest at the 4:48 mark of the first quarter, eventually went to the locker room and never spoke in the second period.

The Lakers led 55-52 at halftime and got two rebounds and a steal from Davis in seven minutes of first-half action. Davis was unable to score and missed all three of his field-goal attempts.

Before Wednesday, the 31-year-old Davis had stuffed the stat sheet, averaging 26.6 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.2 blocks in 28 games (all starts) this season.
