From last night: A LAL player told ESPN that Dillon Brooks called Jarred Vanderbilt a “p—y” during the exchange that led to Vando’s ejection. “We’re men,” Anthony Davis said.

Anthony Davis felt Dillon Brooks crossed the line with his fouls tonight against Jarred Vanderbilt and LeBron James.
Davis added that he thought Brooks should’ve been ejected for pushing Vando in the back of early in the 2Q while Vando was dunking: pic.twitter.com/ay2jxdsNGM – 12:39 AM

Anthony Davis was asked about his groin after the game: “It was sore. Yeah, I just couldn’t move how I usually move, both ends of the floor.”
Asked about playing Tuesday night in back-to-back games Lakers have at Atlanta, Davis said, “I don’t know.” – 11:32 PM

The Lakers cut a once 30-point deficit down to 10 in the 4th Q but lose in Houston, 135-119, to fall back to .500 at 24-24. LeBron 23p 10a 6r; AD 23p 7r 2s; D-Lo 23p 5a; Rui 16p 5r. LAL plays the 2nd night of a b2b tomorrow in Atlanta. – 10:24 PM

Final: Rockets 135, Lakers 119
LA drops to 24-24 and 1-1 on their six-game Grammy road trip. They made things interesting in the fourth but never got closer than within 10 points. Anthony Davis, LeBron James and D’Angelo Russell each had 23 points.
Up next: at Atlanta tomorrow. – 10:23 PM

Lakers timeout with 4:05 remaining. They’re trailing 121-108. Doesn’t look like Anthony Davis will be returning to the game after this timeout. He’s played 29 minutes and hasn’t played since late in the 3Q. – 10:14 PM

Some interesting coaching decisions on both sides. The Lakers are trying to pull off this comeback without Anthony Davis. The Rockets benched Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green, who have been their two leading scorers and best players tonight. – 10:11 PM

Had the Lakers come into this game six or seven games over .500 I suspect LeBron and AD would have sat this game out, but they lost that luxury 15 games ago or so. BK – 9:54 PM

D’Angelo Russell (21 minutes), LeBron James (20) and Anthony Davis (19) played a lot in the first half.
With it being the first night of a back-to-back, have to wonder how much they’ll play in the second half if they’re not able to get back into the game by the end of the 3Q. – 9:18 PM

More on this storyline
“He’s going for a wide-open dunk and [Brooks] just pushed him in the back,” Anthony Davis said. “It’s not a safe play. Guys get hurt like that. And you got to know what type of player [Brooks] is. [The referees] kind of let that just keep going on and [Brooks] kind of provoked it. He talks and says whatever he wants to the refs, to players and at the end of the day, we’re men. “No man is going to talk towards another man the way he was talking to Vando. So, Vando did what he had to do.” -via ESPN / January 30, 2024
Khobi Price: Anthony Davis didn’t return to the game after being subbed out late in the 3Q, even with the Lakers making a 4Q push to cut their deficit to 10. Davis mentioned his groin is “a little sore” and responded “I don’t know” when asked whether he’ll play tomorrow against the Hawks: pic.twitter.com/6tXXu0MU1b -via Twitter @khobi_price / January 30, 2024
