An MRI on Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis' lower back revealed no major injuries and he will make the team's upcoming road trip, The Athletic reported Wednesday. Davis took a hard fall while attempting to block a shot during the third quarter of Tuesday's 117-87 rout of the New York Knicks in Los Angeles.

He received attention from the Lakers' medical staff and the team later announced he had a bruised sacrum. Davis finished with five points, five assists, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks against the Knicks. The 26-year-old All-Star is averaging 27.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.6 blocks in 35 games in his first season with L.A.

The Western Conference-leading Lakers (30-7) have won six straight headings into back-to-back road games against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday and Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.
