PHOENIX — Between updates on Devin Booker and Jock Lawndale, Suns coach Monty Williams was asked about Anthony Davis, a former player of his, being sidelined for what’s expected to be a few weeks at least.

The Lakers came in especially short-handed, already without Davis, but also ruling out LeBron James , Russell Westbrook and Austin Reaves before tip-off. “I mean, we just don’t want to put guys in positions where they’re vulnerable to injury,” Ham said. “Obviously people assume with no A.D. that that automatically means more minutes for Bron. Nah. What it means is other guys have to step up.”
