Anthony Davis News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers | FOX Sports

Will make return, face restrictions Davis (knee) will make his return to action Tuesday night against Brooklyn, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports. He will face an unspecified minutes restriction.

Impact Davis was listed as probable coming into the day, and the team has since confirmed that he'll be back on the floor for the first time since spraining his MCL against Minnesota on Dec. 17. For fantasy purposes, the minutes restriction probably makes Davis a stay-away in DFS contests, but the hope is that he'll be back up to full speed by the end of the week. Looking ahead, it's very possible the Lakers could hold Davis out of one-half of their upcoming back-to-back set Thursday (at PHI) and Friday (at CHA). Prior to the injury, Davis averaged 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 blocks with 52/18/73 shooting splits.

Lakers' Anthony Davis upgraded to 'probable' ahead of Nets game Anthony Davis, who has missed 17 games with a sprained knee ligament, could see playing time against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

Probable against Nets Davis (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Davis has missed the last 17 games due to an MCL sprain in his left knee but returned to practice recently and appears to have a good chance to return Tuesday. Coach Frank Vogel expressed issues with Davis' conditioning over the weekend, so it's likely that the 28-year-old will be eased into action if he's ultimately available against Brooklyn.

Won't play Sunday Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Davis (knee) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Heat, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact After missing the Lakers' last 16 games with an MCL sprain of his left knee, Davis was upgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's contest. The change in status suggests that Davis is on the cusp of a return to the lineup, but Vogel said the big man still needs more time to regain conditioning and strengthening his knee. The Lakers are encouraged by the progress Davis has made and were encouraged by how he looked in practice Saturday, so the 28-year-old seemingly isn't dealing with any setbacks. He can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Lakers' upcoming four-game week, which begins Tuesday with a matchup against the Nets.

Lakers' Anthony Davis upgraded to questionable (knee) before Sunday's game vs. Heat Davis will be a game-time decision after missing the last 16 games with MCL strain.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

May return Sunday Davis (knee) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat and will be a game-time decision, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis last played Dec. 17, spraining his MCL in that contest against the Timberwolves. He was re-evaluated this week, and he's quickly become questionable ahead of Sunday's game. When Davis returns, he'll presumably have his minutes monitored out of the gate, though he could still start. Davis suiting up could mean fewer minutes for Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza and Austin Reaves.
