Even though the Los Angeles Lakers came up short against the Dallas Mavericks in the first of their two-game miniseries on Thursday, the most important part of the night was Anthony Davis.
The Lakers superstar big man made his return after missing 30 straight games due to achilles and calf issues.
Davis was kept on a minutes restriction, playing 17 minutes, all in the first half and finishing with four points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block. He shot just 2-for-10 from the field with many attempts coming from the midrange area.
Most importantly however, is that after the game Davis felt just good following his first in-game action in two months.
