The Los Angeles Lakers fell 115-110 to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, but the loss hardly made for the game’s main storyline amid Anthony Davis’ return from his Achilles injury.
The 28-year-old forward played 17 minutes in three first-half stints finishing the game with four points, four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block under the belt. Buckets didn’t fall in for Davis early in the night as he ended up shooting 2-for-10 from the field, but he still felt good and healthy on the floor.
The All-Star will eventually get back to his best self but in the meantime, Lakers guard Dennis Schroder said he doesn’t want Davis to worry about his limited contribution.
