It is a non-COVID-19 illness, according to the team. Davis had a fever in the afternoon leading up
to tipoff. After he was pulled from the game, the Lakers' training staff administered fluids and
medications to Davis.Lakers coach Darvin Ham said after the game that Davis was the only player on
the team currently suffering from an illness. It progressively got worse Ham said of Davis sickness.
"His temperature went over a 100, I believe it was 101 and some change.
He said he was going to try and give it a go, which he did. But he just felt too weak,
just too drained -- dehydrated a little bit. But it's that time of the season,
in terms of wintertime, weather change, change of climate -- coming from L.A.
going to these different places." Davis joined the team on its flight to Toronto on Tuesday night,
and his status for L.A.'s second leg of the back-to-back against the Raptors will be decided based
on how he is feeling on Wednesday afternoon, Ham said.
