PHILADELPHIA -- Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis exited early in Tuesday night's 118-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers with an abdominal muscle strain and did not return.

Davis subbed out with 2:10 remaining in the first quarter, with L.A. leading 20-17, and immediately went to the locker room for examination. By the time he was ruled out for the rest of the game at halftime, the Sixers were up 73-57.

L.A. started the third quarter with Dorian Finney-Smith in Davis' spot along with the starters.

Davis came into the night on a tear, averaging 32.8 points on 58.2% shooting, 15 rebounds and 2.5 blocks during the Lakers' four-game winning streak.

"He's playing at a really high level right now," Lakers coach JJ Redick said of Davis before the Sixers game. "He's got his pop and his juice back."

Davis finished with four points on 2-of-3 shooting, two rebounds and one steal Tuesday.

The Lakers continue their five-game road trip in Washington on Thursday and New York on Saturday before returning to L.A. to face the Clippers in another road game at the Intuit Dome on Tuesday.
