Anthony Davis Returns, LeBron Game-time Decision Against Pelicans

Lakers forward Anthony Davis will return to the lineup on Friday night against the Pelicans, while LeBron James will be a game-time decision, per coach Frank Vogel.

Davis’s return to the starting lineup couldn’t come at a better time for Los Angeles. Davis has missed the last 18 games with a mid-foot sprain, and has been absent for 39 games this season. His inability to stay healthy is one of the many reasons why the Lakers are in a fight for their playoff lives. 

James has been battling a sprained ankle that he suffered in last Sunday night’s loss to the Pelicans. Although he tweeted that he was out for the season on Friday in honor of April Fools’ Day, this is actually far from the case.
