Anthony Davis: Lakers Forward Possible Return Date From Injury Revealed

• Anthony Davis is likely to return to the Los Angeles Lakers line-up next week
• Davis has been nursing a stress injury since December 17th 2022
• The Lakers have struggled in his absence, but his return should help LeBron James

Los Angeles Lakers could welcome forward Anthony Davis next week if the recovery process goes without any hitches.

The 29-year-old has been out of NBA action for over a month now. The 2020 NBA champions have been up and down since he went down against the Denver Nuggets on December 17, 2022.

Davis injured the foot after his lower right leg bumped with Nikola Jokić while the two were in midair contesting for the basketball near the basket in the first quarter.

The Lakers earlier misdiagnosed the injury as right foot soreness, but after a comprehensive evaluation by team doctors and outside specialists, it was diagnosed as a tress injury.

Davis likely to return next week

According to ESPN, Davis continues to make positive progress from the injury and the former New Orleans Pelicans star could return to the line-up late next week.

Davis has been ramping up the recovery process and would be a welcome addition to the team which has struggled for consistency. The Lakers have won two of their last five games.

They find themselves 10th in the Western Conference, the last spot for the play-in spot, with a 21-25 record. They kick off a five-game road trip on the 28th, a trip that Davis is expected to make.

Before going down, he was averaging 27.4 points on a career-best 59.4% from the field, 12.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals, per Statmuse.

Sports Brief earlier reported on LeBron James saying that the team has no room for error because of their depleted roster.

The team is missing Davis for over a month now with a foot injury. The 2020 NBA champions are also missing Lonnie Walker IV (knee) and Austin Reaves (hamstring).

James reiterated that his team will have to play mistake-free basketball until his injured teammates return.
