Report: Lakers Anthony Davis Returning Friday

The Los Angeles Lakers will get some help sooner than expected. Anthony Davis is returning to game action and his return gave hope to many Lakers fans. LeBron James deals with nagging ankle injury and the situation is really bad for the team.

According to latest reports, Davis will join his teammates on Friday. He will take part in the lineup and this is the best news we got these days. Davis’ return could increase the chance to see the Lakers in the playoffs. The Lakers sit outside the playoff picture at the moment. They lost too many games in the regular season. Losing Davis was a big blow for the team. LeBron missed time too. Davis and LeBron have played in just 21 games together. When healthy, these two are lethal. Things didn’t go the way everyone planned and Lakers fans are a bit frustrated.

Anthony Davis is returning at the right time

Shams Charania was the first to report on Davis’ return.

“Lakers star Anthony Davis plans to return Friday vs. the Pelicans, barring setback, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium,” Charania said. “Davis has been sidelined since Feb. 14 due to mid-foot sprain. Big Lakers-Pelicans game with Play-In ramifications.”
