Absent since December 17 and a knee injury contracted against the Timberwolves, Anthony Davis will finally make his return with the Lakers. The meeting in which he should find playing time has just been announced by an insider!
The Lakers knew it, the schedule that awaited them at the end of January was not a walk in the park. They were also able to check it this Sunday, when visiting the Heat. Yet deprived of several major players, including Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro, the Floridians have long recited their basketball, to ultimately win 113-107 on their land.
Following this first defeat in the road-trip of death they are currently doing, the Angelinos now have only one mission: to correct the situation as quickly as possible. This will therefore have to go through a victory against their next opponent, who is however not the most affordable on paper. After a detour via Miami, it is indeed James Harden and Brooklyn waiting for Frank Vogel’s men!
Recovery against the Nets for Anthony Davis
If they want to win against the Nets – who will not be able to count on Kyrie Irving, as in each of their home meetings – the Lakers will necessarily have to rely on the performance of their stars. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook will therefore be highly anticipated, as will… Anthony Davis, who should return to the five of the franchise on this occasion according to Mike Trudell!
Anthony Davis is expected to play tomorrow at Brooklyn, and is listed as “probable.”
Davis looked good playing 2-on-2, full speed, before the game at Miami, and clearly responded well to it.

Anthony Davis is scheduled to play tomorrow against Brooklyn, and is listed as “probable” on the injury report.
Davis sent good signals by playing 2-on-2, at full speed, before the match against Miami, and his body clearly reacted well to it.
If Brooklyn will therefore be deprived of two of the three members of its Big 3 – Kevin Durant for his part is still treating his left knee – the Purple & Gold will have their three superstars. Good news for them, and even more for their defense, in great delicacy in the absence of Unibrow. The latter can also contribute in attack, since he would have worked a key area during his time in the infirmary !
Lakers fans have been waiting for it, and the return of Anthony Davis is becoming clearer than ever. This should therefore be done on the floor of the Barclays Center, in a poster that has something to make a little more salivate from now on!
