Frank Vogel says Lakers are handling Anthony Davis’ shoulder issue responsibly
Anthony Davis has endured an injury-riddled start to his Los Angeles Lakers career, and now he and the team are coping with a lingering shoulder issue.
Davis has been diagnosed with right shoulder soreness, though it is not expected to cost him any games right now. Lakers coach Frank Vogel said the team isn’t going anything with Davis that could lead to long-term issues, though he didn’t necessarily deny that the shoulder issue could linger for some time.
Frank Vogel on if it will be a season-long issue for Davis feeling soreness in his shoulder: “We’ll see. We’ll take it day by day.”

Davis aggravated his shoulder injury in Sunday’s game against the Raptors, but it didn’t seem to significantly impact his performance. The Lakers will hope that continues, though it sounds like this one may bother Davis for a while. It’s also not the only injury he’s dealt with this year.
