ATLANTA — Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis is missing just his third game of the season, sitting out the second game of a back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks. The 30-year-old Davis is averaging 24.9 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. He was ruled out with left hip and Achilles issues. Jaxson Hayes started in his place. There were also doubts that 39-year-old LeBron James would play on consecutive nights with the Lakers coming off a 135-119 loss at Houston. But, after going through his pregame routine, James is in the starting lineup for the Lakers.
