ATLANTA -- Reluctant to invite outside expectations surrounding his return date, but clearly encouraged by the progress he's made so far, Los Angeles Lakers star big man Anthony Davis spoke to reporters Friday for the first time since suffering a stress injury in his right foot two weeks ago.
"Feeling a lot better, pain has subsided tremendously," Davis told a small group of L.A.-based reporters before the Lakers played the Atlanta Hawks. "I think the next step is [the foot] healing right now. I don't want to use timetables because that's a whole different thing, but it's healing pretty quickly.
