Anthony Davis making progress towards return
The good news? Davis is set to be reevaluated this week — Thursday will officially be four weeks since he suffered the injury — and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported on “NBA Countdown” that Davis is “making progress” towards a return: “His walking boot is off, and I’m told this week the next step for him is he’ll get on the court and start to do some stationary shooting. And they still, with 16 games left for the Lakers and the toughest schedule left in the league, the expectation is that they can still hang on to the play-in and get in the postseason and they can have Anthony Davis back.”

LeBron James (left knee soreness/effusion) and Talen Horton-Tucker (left ankle sprain) are listed as questionable for the Lakers tomorrow against the Suns. Malik Monk (right shoulder soreness) is probable.
Anthony Davis and Kendrick Nunn are out. – 8:08 PM

Don’t write off the 76ers due to one awful loss.
Last years Bucks lost by 31 to Denver with Giannis and Middleton in the lineup.
Won title.
2019-20 Lakers lost by 32 to Boston with LeBron and AD in the lineup.
Won title.
It’s an UGLY loss no doubt. But it’s one game. – 10:00 PM

ICYMI: #MLB remains in a labor fight & public relations battle..
Meanwhile… #Yankees president Randy Levine is “very afraid” fans could lose interest the league.
And on the ad front, marketers are wait & see.
Baseball is a mess.

More on this storyline
They are also (seemingly) hoping to make some noise once they get there. “They’re not punting on this season. Anthony Davis wants to be back, this team wants him back… He’ll make more progress this week they hope, and he’ll have another MRI which will be about four weeks out from the injury, and the hope is that he can then start progressing towards returning before the postseason begins.” -via Silverscreenandroll.com / March 13, 2022

Change is inevitable for the Los Angeles Lakers. The team will undoubtedly look different when next season rolls around and many of the franchise’s key figures could either be gone or heading towards the door. Head coach Frank Vogel failing so badly to get his talent to mesh has reflected very badly on him. He has frequently been mentioned in firing rumors and his job security has been uncertain for a while now. -via Clutch Points / March 4, 2022
