Optimism about return timeline Davis (foot) plans to begin the ramp-up process of his rehab when the Lakers return to Los Angeles later this week, and there's optimism that he could return to the starting lineup...

Impact Davis missed his 12th straight game Saturday due to a fracture in his right foot, but he'll soon begin a ramp-up process that include pool workouts and running on an altered-gravity treadmill to reduce pressure on his foot. The superstar big man has been limited to spot shooting thus far, so his switch to conditioning-based workouts is certainly a step in the right direction. With Davis sidelined, the Lakers initially went through a rough patch but have since won five straight games, thanks largely due to the play of Thomas Bryant in Davis' stead. However, Los Angeles' current hot streak is likely unsustainable unless they can return to full strength, which certainly includes Davis getting back onto the court in a timely fashion. While there's optimism about that happening, Davis will presumably remain sidelined for at least two more weeks.

Impact Davis has been sidelined for the Lakers' last 11 games with the foot injury, and he's likely to miss at least a few more contests even if he fares well during his upcoming workout. Though Davis is reportedly progressing well with minimal pain in his foot, he'll need to check out fine in the workout before he's cleared for contact work and ultimately given the green light to join teammates in practice. Thomas Bryant will continue to hold down the fort at center in the absence of Davis, who could be tracking toward a return to the lineup in the latter half of January.

Impact Davis is set to be re-evaluated during the first week of January, and it's encouraging to hear he's almost pain-free. Still, pain isn't the only hurdle, and the medical staff will need to make sure things are structurally sound before Davis considers ramping up for a return. In the meantime, expect Thomas Bryant to continue starting at center.

Will be re-evaluated in two weeks Davis will be re-evaluated in roughly two weeks after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Impact Davis' recovery remains a bit murky, but he may be able to return shortly after his re-evaluation in two weeks, though that's on the optimistic side. The injury comes at an unfortunate time for Davis, as he finally seemed to be finding his rhythm, having averaged 40.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game across the last five games he has started and finished.
