Lakers' Anthony Davis has uneven but encouraging performance in return from calf injury
CBSN
It was good and bad as Davis took the floor for the first time since February
Anthony Davis hadn't played since Valentine's Day thanks to a calf injury he suffered against the Denver Nuggets, but on Thursday, the star center made his long-awaited return to the floor. The results, in a vacuum, weren't exactly what the Los Angeles Lakers were looking for. In 17 minutes of action, Davis scored only four points on 2-of-10 shooting. The Lakers were outscored by 11 points with Davis on the floor and were ultimately defeated 115-111 by the Dallas Mavericks. With Dallas now only two games behind the Lakers in the loss column and a tiebreaker-determining rematch coming on Sunday, the Lakers will need Davis back at full strength as quickly as possible. Fortunately, there were encouraging signs on Thursday. Davis wasn't his usual, game-wrecking self, but there were glimpses of his supreme athleticism and the impact it has on opponents in the loss. So let's look through the good, the bad and the ugly in Davis' first appearance in over two months.More Related News
