Lakers forward Anthony Davis is nearing his return to the lineup from the stress injury in his right foot that has sidelined him since mid-December, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Per Wojnarowski’s report, Davis has continued to make “pain-free progress” on his foot, and there’s optimism around the team that he could make his return to the lineup by late next week.
The Lakers kick off a five-game road trip on Saturday Jan. 28 in Boston, which could be around the time that Davis is ready to return.
Prior to his injury, Davis was playing at an MVP level for the Lakers, carrying the offense early in the season with LeBron James in and out of the lineup.
