Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis will be re-evaluated by Los Angeles team doctors this week and could return to play in the next 10-14 days, and LeBron James could be right behind him, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski to ESPN.
Davis, who came 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 sprained ankle three weeks ago, is about to return to the line in three weeks, sources said.
Nine-year-old veteran Davis averaged 22.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game this season before injury.
James was considered one of the most important MVP candidates – averaging 25.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists – before Atlanta Hawks striker Solomon Hill threw himself into James’ ankle with weight. his body while trying to steal.
Reaching Saturday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers have amassed an 11-13 record since Davis came out, dropping from No. 2 to No. 5 in the Western Conference standings.
