The injured big man sat out for the 12th consecutive game on Friday, but Lakers coach Frank Vogel says he is making progress in the intensity of his work.
It’s a question that is as pressing as ever for the Lakers, who were only treading water when Anthony Davis was healthy, but have fallen off even more since he got hurt. There’s at least some hope that he’s progressing from his midfoot sprain: Davis took the court for some shooting on Friday night before the Lakers’ game against the Toronto Raptors.
Davis has played just 37 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 23.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots. Since his sprain on Feb. 16, the Lakers are just 3-9 after the All-Star break, sorely missing his size as an interior scorer and rebounder. Davis said earlier in the week that the number of injuries he’s had, while unfortunate, has helped him mentally stay focused in his rehab process. He’s also been able to keep his fitness with cardio workouts that are meticulously timed and tracked.
There’s a less clear path for Kendrick Nunn, who has not yet played this season. While General Manager Rob Pelinka said last month that he expected Nunn to return in late March from a right knee bone bruise, Vogel said there’s “no update” on Nunn’s progress.
