After more than two months away from the court due to a calf/Achilles strain, Anthony Davis made his return to the court on Thursday for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Davis played in just 17 first-half minutes, but the Lakers were just one player away from having their full starting lineup of Dennis Schroder, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, LeBron James, Davis and Andre Drummond.
Sadly, Davis’ return came in a 115-110 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. It was the Lakers’ first back-to-back loss since March 25, and it came in a very winnable game. More importantly than the individual loss, the Lakers got Davis back and he looked relatively good for someone who has not played since February.
