The Los Angeles Lakers are set to get a massive Anthony Davis boost ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Miami Heat. LeBron James and Co. are in all sorts of trouble right now and they could surely use this type of news as they look to turn their season around.
According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Davis could take the floor for the Lakers on Sunday after being out of action for more than a month now due to a lingering knee injury:
Anthony Davis has been upgraded to questionable and will be a game-time decision against Miami, per the Lakers.

The last time Davis was in action for the Lakers was on December 17th. He has now missed 16 games since and during that span, LA has gone 7-9. The Lakers have been dealing with a lot of issues of late, particularly with certain developments surrounding the embattled Russell Westbrook, and at this point, this team is in dire need of some good news. Needless to say, AD's return comes at a perfect time for the Lakers.
LA has won two out of its last three games, including Friday's 116-105 win over the Orlando Magic. The Lakers will now look to log back-to-back wins on Sunday against the Heat and they're hoping to get Davis back in the mix for that one.
AD won't be able to solve all of the Lakers' issues once he returns, but there's no denying that this will be a huge boost for LA moving forward.
