Anthony Davis will not play for the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers due to a mild ankle sprain, coach Frank Vogel said.
It will mark the second game Davis has missed this season. He is leading the team in points (27.4), rebounds (9.3) and blocks (2.6) per game.
In Davis' absence, Jared Dudley will make his first start of the season for the Lakers (24-3), who have the NBA's best record.
Davis tweaked the ankle during Sunday's win against the Atlanta Hawks. He grabbed at his right ankle when fouled on a layup in the closing minutes, but he was able to finish the game.
He had been listed as questionable on the injury report leading into Tuesday's game.
Davis previously has dealt with rib and shoulder soreness this season.
Kyle Kuzma (ankle) also is out for Los Angeles, as previously announced.
