Lakers star Anthony Davis is expected to return to the floor Friday as Los Angeles faces the Pelicans, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Davis has not played since Feb. 14 due to a foot sprain. LeBron James is also hoping to return Friday after missing two straight games due to a left ankle injury, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The return of Los Angeles’s stars comes as the Lakers look to salvage a dismal 2021–22 season. James and Co. enter Thursday sitting No. 10 in the Western Conference at 31–44, 0.
