The Los Angeles Lakers are in the thick of the chase for the Play-In Tournament and are reportedly about to get stronger with the return of Anthony Davis.
Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, Davis plans to make his return from a right mid-foot sprain Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Davis returns after being out since Feb. 14 with a right foot injury. He also missed a month with a knee injury, limiting his time on the floor with LeBron James to 21 games together this season.
Los Angles takes on Utah before what looks to be a crucial weekend matchup with New Orleans, which now leads the Lakers by 1.5 games in the race for home court in the Play-In.
