Anthony Davis leaves Lakers’ Christmas Day game with ankle injury

SAN FRANCISCO — Star big man Anthony Davis had an early exit from the Lakers’ Christmas Day matchup against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center because of a left ankle injury.

Davis turned his left ankle at the 6:49 mark of the first quarter Wednesday after Warriors forward Draymond Green missed a corner 3-pointer.

He fell to the floor and momentarily held the ankle before getting up but not crossing halfcourt on the Lakers’ following three offensive possessions before the Warriors called timeout midway through the first.
