On January 10, 2022, Beijing time, before the Lakers' game against the Grizzlies, a long-lost figure was ushered in, that is, Anthony Davis. In pre-match shooting training, Davis appeared on the court and did some non-confrontation shooting training, which was the first time that Anthony Davis had participated in shooting training in three weeks since he was injured!
In this training, although the shooting feel is very good, we can see that Davis wears a very thick protective gear on his left knee, and we can see that his knee injury still has a certain impact. Previously, on December 18, 2021, davis' left knee was pressed by the opponent in front of the Timberwolves' hand, which was also very heart-wrenching when he came off the court!
So far, Davis has been absent for nearly a month, but fortunately, only the medial collateral ligament strain in the left knee has not had too serious consequences. The news given before is that at least four weeks out, davis has been absent for more than three weeks, and it is close to four weeks soon, I don't know how long it will take Davis to come back!
But at least from this video we can see that Davis has been able to make some non-confrontational jump shots, which is a very big step forward, and if Davis can recover smoothly in the next one or two weeks, it may not take long to complete the comeback. And after his comeback, it should be the Lakers slowly approaching the state of full body, the recent State of the Lakers has been getting better and better, James is becoming more and more handy in the position of center, after Davis returns, maybe he will be in the fourth position, still let James play center!
In any case, Lakers fans have been waiting for Davis for a long time, no matter how big the gap between his state and the championship season, with Davis and without Davis, the Lakers are two teams, his defense and deterrent on the inside is still extremely important, is one of the biggest advantages of the Lakers this season!
