This week, Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis will be reevaluated by Los Angeles team doctors and could play again in the next 10 to 14 days and LeBron James could be behind him, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Davis, out Feb. 14 with a calf strain and tendinosis in his right leg, will be examined Thursday after the Lakers return from their current five-game trip to the East Coast, sources said.
And James, who suffered a high right ankle sprain three weeks ago, is on track to rejoin the lineup in three weeks, sources said.
Nine-year veteran Davis averaged 22.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game this season prior to injury.
James was considered one of the league’s top MVP contenders (averaging 25.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists) before Atlanta Hawks striker Solomon Hill stepped into the ankle. of James with the weight of his body as he tried to steal.
Arriving in Saturday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers compiled an 11-13 record since Davis came out, moving from No. 2 to No. 5 in the Western Conference standings.
