Yesterday, the Lakers re-evaluated their big man All-Star and received some good news, per Lakers head coach Frank Vogel:
“Everything looked clean on the MRI and the checkup with doctors, so he’s been cleared for an on-court ramp-up with contact. That doesn’t mean we’ll have a timeline. There’s still a reconditioning and ramp-up of work involved.”
This also means that Davis is right on schedule, and according to a report by Los Angeles Times’ Dan Woike and Broderick Turner, there is optimism within the Lakers organization that Davis could return to game action during the Lakers’ upcoming road trip:
“According to people with knowledge of the situation, there’s optimism Davis could return during the team’s upcoming six-game road trip.”
