Davis was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game after suffering a knee sprain in L.A.'s Game 3 win.

After beginning the postseason with just 13 points in Game 1 against the Suns, Davis averaged 34 points and 10.5 rebounds in Games 2 and 3 to help the Lakers take a 2-1 series lead.

It's unclear if Davis will miss Game 5. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel will likely have a better update after Sunday's game.
