The pain in Anthony Davis' right foot continues to subside and the Los Angeles Lakers' star plans to begin the ramp up process to return to play when the team returns to L.A. this week, league sources told ESPN.
Davis missed his 12th straight game on Saturday -- a 136-134 win for the Lakers over the Sacramento Kings - because of a bone spur fractured off the navicular bone in his right foot, as well as a stress reaction.
The Lakers have won a season-best five straight games without him, going 7-5 overall heading into Monday's game against the Nuggets, wrapping up a two-game road trip.
