NOTES
LAKERS: Anthony Davis plans to travel with the team on its upcoming road trip after he bruised his buttocks in a nasty fall Tuesday night.
An MRI exam showed no major concerns, and X-rays were negative. Davis was extremely sore, but his injuries appear to be only bruises.
PACERS: Guard Victor Oladipo said he hopes to return to game action Jan. 29 against the Chicago Bulls.
The two-time All-Star has spent nearly a year working his way back from a ruptured quad tendon that required season-ending surgery and an extensive rehab program.
FINES: Golden State Coach Steve Kerr was fined $25,000 by the NBA for verbally abusing a game official and failing to leave the court in a timely manner following an ejection, and Knicks forward/center Bobby Portis was fined $25,000 for recklessly making contact above the shoulders of an airborne shooter during a loss to the Lakers on Tuesday night.
