Impact Speaking about Davis' situation Saturday on ABC's "NBA Countdown" show, Wojnarowski said the Lakers star big man is progressing as anticipated from the right mid-foot sprain he sustained Feb. 16. Now that Davis' boot is off, he'll scheduled to take the next step forward in his recovery this week by taking part in some stationary on-court shooting this week, with the accompanying MRI likely determining whether he's fit to increase his basketball activities beyond that.
