Anthony Davis may not be sidelined for much longer.
— his foot is continuing to improve. He will begin pool workouts, running on an altered-gravity treadmill and start increasing his basketball workouts in the coming weeks.
Davis hasn’t played since he injured his right foot against the Denver Nuggets on Dec. 16. His right leg connected with Nuggets star Nikola Jokic while in the paint, and he immediately started hopping in pain. He was diagnosed with a bone spur fracture and a stress reaction in his right foot. Thomas Bryant has stepped in to try and fill Davis’ shoes in the meantime. Bryant, who signed a one-year deal with the Lakers this offseason, has averaged 17.1 points and 11.2 rebounds over the past 10 games. He had 29 points and 14 rebounds in the Lakers’ win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.
."I think it could be extremely beneficial for our ballclub … We're just trying to hold it down until our big guy comes back. And Thomas has definitely done his part, and we're all trying to chip in."James will miss Monday’s game against the Nuggets due to left ankle soreness, the team announced on Monday afternoon.
