Davis (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis played a shocking 37 minutes in his first game back from a sprained foot following an 18-game absence. He's understandably dealing with some soreness after posting 23 points, 12 boards, six assists and one steal. LeBron James (ankle) is also questionable, so fantasy managers need to keep an eye on the Lakers' injury report leading up to tipoff.

Davis ended with 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 114-111 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the previous 18 games with a foot injury, Davis was back in the lineup for the first time since the final game before the All-Star break. While he didn't show many signs of rust, his 23 points, 12 boards and six assists weren't enough to push the Lakers past the Pelicans in an ultra-important game for play-in purposes. Now trailing the Spurs by 1.0 game, and lacking the tiebreaker, the Lakers are on course to do the unthinkable and miss the playoffs entirely.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Davis had been trending in this direction. He will step on the court for the first time since Feb. 16. Coach Frank Vogel said that the Lakers will be "responsible" with Davis' workload, but the 29-year old won't face a minutes restriction against Now Orleans.

Davis (foot), who is planning to play, is officially questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was initially expected to be a game-time call, then it seemed like he was essentially a lock to play, but now he's being listed as questionable. It's tough to discern exactly what to expect, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he takes the court for the first time since Feb. 16. A minutes limit could be attached to his return given the long layoff, but the Lakers are in do-or-die territory.

Davis (foot) plans to return Friday against the Pelicans, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier Thursday, it was reported Davis would be a game-time call. That may still technically be the case, but it seems more likely than not now that he'll see the floor. He'll presumably be on a minutes limit, though Friday's game has significant play-in ramifications, so the Lakers will likely want him out there as much as possible.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was initially doubtful for Thursday's game against the Jazz, and this report essentially confirms that he's out. Davis hasn't played since the All-Star break, as he's been recovering from a sprained right foot. If he returns Friday, he'll presumably be on a minutes limit. That said, the Lakers are at risk of missing the play-in games, so ramping him up quickly could be the priority.

Davis (foot) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has said that he's targeting a return Friday against the Pelicans or Sunday against the Nuggets, so it isn't very surprising to see him doubtful ahead of Thursday's matchup. Assuming he's held out, Dwight Howard and Wenyen Gabriel (ankle) could see additional run.

Davis (foot) is targeting a return Friday against the Pelicans or Sunday against the Nuggets, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was a full participant in Monday's practice, and it looks like he'll be returning sooner than later. His presence is much-needed, as LeBron James (ankle) is dealing with a significant ankle injury and the Lakers are fighting for a play-in spot. Davis last played Feb. 16, so he'll likely be eased back into things with a minutes limit in his first games back.

Davis (foot) has officially been ruled out of Tuesday's game at Dallas, Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The big man was able to return to practice Monday, but there was never much belief that he'd be able to play Tuesday night. His next chance to return from his sprained right foot will come Thursday at Utah.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Davis (foot) was a full participant during Monday's practice, but he remains doubtful for Tuesday's contest against Dallas, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monday marked the first practice Davis has fully participated in since he suffered the foot injury in mid-February. From a fantasy perspective, it remains unclear if Davis will be able to return to full strength soon enough to make a difference in the playoffs. However, it appears the Lakers may be getting their star forward back for a potential run in the play-in tournament.
