Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis will be reassessed by team doctors in Los Angeles this week and could play again in the next 10 to 14 days and LeBron James could almost be behind on return, ESPN sources Adrian Wojnarowski.
Davis, who has been out since Feb. 14 due to a calf strain and tendinosis in his right leg, will be examined Thursday after the Lakers return from their current five-game tour of the East Coast, sources said.
And James, who sprained his right ankle three weeks ago, is on track to be back in the lineup in three weeks, sources said.
Davis averaged 22.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game for the injury this season.
James was considered a lead candidate for the League’s MVP, averaging 25.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists, before Atlanta Hawks forward Solomon Hill weighed his body on James’ ankle landed while attempting a robbery.
In Saturday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers are 11-13 since Davis’s absence, dropping from No. 2 to No. 5 in the Western Conference standings.
