On Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers will return home after a little road trip to take on the Dallas Mavericks.
The game comes after the Lakers suffered one of their more disappointing losses of the season, a 114-110 loss to the now 17-52 Houston Rockets. It would have likely been an easy win if Anthony Davis played, especially when you consider the Rockets outscored the Lakers in the paint 78 to 46, an area Davis could have certainly helped in.
The sad reality is that the Lakers’ team and medical staff decided when he returned that Davis would sit out half of all back-to-backs for the rest of the season.
