Even if Davis can return to the court to finish off the 2022-23 season with the Lakers, he knows that surgery could be necessary down the line. “Something to consider, in the offseason, to remove [the bone spur],” he said.<\/a> “I think the biggest thing is the stress reaction, though, just monitoring that. Because that can definitely lead to six, seven, eight months out — which I would rather take four weeks than seven months. I’m not saying I’ll be back in four weeks — but hopefully.”

\nThis is the 6th time in Pelicans history (regular season and postseason) teammates have scored at least 35 in a game.

\nFinal: Lakers 130, Hawks 121
\nThe Lakers win on LeBron James’ 38th birthday to improve to 4-5 since AD went out and 15-21 overall. LeBron scored a season-high 47 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 9 assists. An impressive, much-needed win for LA.

\nWill have more from Anthony Davis soon, main thrust: He has multiple injuries in his foot including a fractured bone spur, but the biggest issue is the stress reaction that caused him pain when he landed in the Denver game. He\u2019s healing well with the non-surgical approach. – 6:43 PM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nMaking a list of the top 10 single game stat lines of the NBA season so far and there are some CRAZY games that aren’t going to make the cut.
\nAD’s 37-21-2-5-5 not making the cut.
\nSteph’s 50-9-6 not making the cut.
\nTrying to decide if Booker’s 49-8-10 not making the cut – 11:09 PM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s healing pretty quickly,\u201d Davis said Friday. \u201cSo when we get back to L.A., we\u2019ll do another image of the foot, and see how far it\u2019s healed since the last time. … If I see that it\u2019s healed properly, or enough where I can go start ramping up on the court, then we\u2019ll start that process.\u201d<\/a> -via Los Angeles Times<\/a> \/ December 31, 2022\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Davis said he received an MRI on the foot Dec. 22 and the Lakers shared the imaging with five doctors and foot specialists to determine a recovery plan. One option\u00a0available\u00a0to him would be to undergo a procedure to remove the bone spur. One doctor surmised that the bone spur was present in his foot since his college days at the University of Kentucky more than a decade ago, it just hadn’t caused him any problems. “I don’t like surgery,” Davis said. “I feel like, if it can be avoided, then let’s avoid it.”<\/a> -via ESPN<\/a> \/ December 31, 2022\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
