Lakers superstar Anthony Davis has missed eight games due to a right foot injury and is expected to be out for at least until mid-January.
The 29-year-old forward recently provided an update on his recovery, saying that the foot is healing pretty quickly. When the team returns to Los Angeles, another image of the foot will be taken to check on the progress.

“It’s healing pretty quickly,” Davis said. “So when we get back to L.A., we’ll do another image of the foot, and see how far it’s healed since the last time I did it, which was the 22nd or the 23rd. And it’s really just about pain. The pain is still there, I still feel it a little bit, not as much as I did before. More like a two [out of 10], trending down to one. I’ve been lifting, and lifting is fine. Everything I do in the weight room is fine.”
The Lakers went 3-5 over the eight-game span without Davis so far.
This season Davis is averaging 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 33.4 minutes per game.
