The Lakers have been waiting out the latest Anthony Davis injury, and it seems more and more as if he’s nearing a return.
Davis even practiced a little on Thursday, coach Darvin Ham revealed to reporters.
“He did jump in with the group today, did some non-contact stuff, pick-and-roll drills, a little offensive scripting. He’s looking good,” Ham said, via Dave McMenamin of ESPN. “Moving well. … Got a great sweat in [during an] individual workout … He’s progressing really, really, really well.”
Davis has missed 17 straight games with a foot injury. Earlier this week, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported the Lakers are hoping to have him back before mid-February. That’s still about three weeks away.
Without question, the Lakers (20-25) sure could use Davis these days. They’ve lost four of five and if they have any hope of the playoffs, or even play-in tournament, they’ll need every upgrade they can get.

Davis suffered the injury in a Dec. 16 win over the Nuggets and was forced to exit the game. He made just 40 appearances last season and just 36 the season before that.
