LOS ANGELES -- Lakers star Anthony Davis says he will make his return from a nine-week absence on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, so long as his right leg responds well to Wednesday's practice.
Davis said he now feels "100 percent" healthy from the calf strain and tendinosis in his right leg but detailed the scary moments after the injury occurred.
"I never tore an Achilles, but I kind of felt like sharp pain, like it was ripping, which I had never felt before," Davis said. "... So I knew it was something serious.
