Mookie Betts Scratched On Sunday Due To Allergies

Los Angeles Dodgers' outfielder Mookie Betts is a late scratch on Sunday due to allergies, per manager Dave Roberts. Betts didn't start Saturday's game either in order to "recalibrate."

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (knee) remains listed as questionable on Sunday ahead of the matchup with the Suns, but recently stated, "there's no chance I don't play."
