Anthony Davis’ performance in his first game for the Los Angeles Lakers after a two-month break didn’t overwhelm at first glance.
The 28-year-old All-Star registered four points and four rebounds in the 115-110 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, shooting just 20% from the field. Davis played on a minutes restriction clocking in 17 minutes in the first half of the clash.
It might take time for the forward to regain the rhythm offensively having missed 30 straight games with an Achilles injury. But head coach Frank Vogel said Davis already made a difference on the other end of the floor.
