rebounds in a victory over the Charlotte Hornets for the fifth 40-point, 20-rebound game of his career.

The Lakers led 20-17 when Davis subbed out and were outscored 101-84 in the 38 minutes Davis didn’t play.

“When our best player goes out, it’s always challenging,” Lakers star LeBron James said. “Especially in the game. If he’s out from the beginning, then we have a game plan set. We know what to expect, we know what our lineup is gonna be. But when A.D. or any one of our guys go down throughout the course of a game, it’s just tough.

“But the level of concern? I think he’ll be fine.”

The Lakers have three games over the next week:

• Today at the Washington Wizards;

• Saturday at the New York Knicks;

• Tuesday at the Clippers.

They’ll host the Golden State Warriors on Feb. 6, meaning Davis won’t play again until the NBA’s trade deadline passed earlier that day.

The Lakers entered Wednesday with a 26-19 record and in the No. 5 spot in the Western Conference standings.

Davis has averaged 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.1 blocked shots and 1.3 steals, playing in 42 of the Lakers’ first 45 games.

The Lakers will likely replace Davis with Jaxson Hayes in the starting lineup while Davis is sidelined. Two-way centers Christian Koloko and Trey Jemison could also receive more playing time.

Jarred Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith could also be relied on more in small-ball lineups.
