Sources: AD (calf) returning to Mavs vs. Lakers
LOS ANGELES — Dallas Mavericks star power forward/center Anthony Davis, who has been sidelined for the past month because of a calf strain, returned to face the Lakers in Los Angeles on Friday night.
It is the first time the 2020 NBA champion is facing his former team in L.A. since the February trade that sent Davis to the Mavs as part of the package in exchange for superstar guard Luka Doncic. Davis was expected to play 24 to 27 minutes against the Lakers, Mavs coach Jason Kidd said.
"You're talking about one of the best players in the world," Kidd said. "The chemistry when you get him back on the floor, it's going to take a little time. For tonight, I just want a positive experience, positive minutes."
Mavs' Anthony Davis returns from 14-game absence to face Lakers in LA for first time since trade

The game was the first in Los Angeles for Davis since the seismic trade sending him to the Mavs in a package for Luka Doncic 10 months ago. The star big man is still beloved by Lakers fans who watched as he teamed up with LeBron James to lead their franchise to its 17th title in October 2020 during the first of his 5 1/2 mostly successful seasons in purple and gold.
The 32-year-old Davis hasn't played since Oct. 29 due to a left calf strain. He was expected to play 24 to 27 minutes against the Lakers, coach Jason Kidd said.
