Anthony Davis has an injury and a return date. There is a time and a place for this.
Lakers star big man Anthony Davis has a stress injury in his right foot and will be out for a long time.
During last week's game against the Denver Nuggets, Davis injured his foot when he bumped his lower leg with Jokic while they were in the air.
After consultation with team doctors and outside specialists, the Lakers said that Davis' injury was a stress injury and that he would be out for a few weeks. It was previously reported that Davis wouldn't be able to play for at least a few weeks because of the injury.
According to sources, the pain in Davis' foot has subsided in the past few days and he is expected to rest it for another seven to 10 days. It will be reexamined for a possible return to play.
There is hope that a procedure can be avoided in the future.
Davis will miss his fourth game in a row when the Lakers host the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Since the Denver game, the Lakers have been without him.
The 11-year veteran had been enjoying a career renaissance this season, averaging 27.4 points on a career-best 59.4% from the field, while also grabbing a career-high 12.1 rebound per game.
