The Los Angeles Lakers got some exciting news on Monday as they have announced that Anthony Davis has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Anthony Davis has not played for the Lakers in over a month due to an MCL sprain. This is great news for the Lakers as they are looking to get back on track towards the last half of the season.

Los Angeles has had a difficult season, as they are now a game under .500 after their loss to the Miami Heat on Sunday. They are currently 23-24 and hold the Western Conference's eighth seed. The Lakers have not been doing as well as they had hoped. Returning Anthony Davis could provide a spark for this team, since he is one of the top players that the game has to offr.

Davis was averaging 23.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, and two blocks per game prior to his injury. There were times during the season when he appeared to be struggling, but with a long-awaited comeback, he should be back to the star that everyone knows he can be.

Los Angeles will need Anthony Davis to play his best basketball this season if they are to have any chance of getting back on track. They've had nights where they don't appear like a team capable of making a deep playoff run, which wasn't expected coming into the season.
