Davis’ return comes at the best possible juncture for the Lakers. The champions are finally starting to get in their groove and are excelling on the court. New signing Andre Drummond is off to a flier with two double-doubles in first three games.
This will be exceptional for the Lake show as AD can get some reps up with the team. Given that the Lakers will start with both Drummond and Davis, the 28-year-old’s return will be essential to build some much-needed chemistry.
He will also add a much-needed boost to the Lakers’ offensive display. Given how inefficient they have been in offense, Davis’ shot-creation ability will be a massive positive for the team.
