Anthony Davis, a famous center for the Los Angeles Lakers, said that the discomfort in his right foot has substantially decreased, and imaging tests showed that he is making progress in his recovery.
Davis expressed optimism about the future despite his reluctance to provide a specific timeline for his comeback and said that things are headed in the right manner.
It’s recovering rather fast, according to Davis. So, when we return to Los Angeles, we’ll take another photograph of the foot to assess its level of healing since the 22nd or 23rd. And the only true issue is suffering. Even if I don’t feel it as much as I did previously, the pain is still there. A two [out of 10], with a downward trend toward one. Lifting is OK, and I’ve been doing it. I’m fine with whatever I do in the weight room.
If I see that its healed properly, or enough where I can go start ramping up on the court, then well start that process.
Davis went into depth about the many aspects of the injury that he sustained on December 16 during the Lakers’ victory against the Denver Nuggets. While Nikola Jokic was in the air during the first half of the game, Davis’ foot made contact with Jokic’s leg by kicking against it. Davis said that he had not experienced any discomfort prior to landing.
It was bothering me; it was very painful, Davis said. The doctor told me that I had a fracture and a bone spur in my foot. At that moment, and maybe leading into the next day, it was tough for me mentally just because of the fact that coming off last year with the injuries and coming out and having a mindset of getting back to who I want to be as a player, in that mold, and for something like this to happen was tough mentally.
“After that, it was just a matter of figuring out the subsequent steps to getting back on the floor. The next day, they informed me that I had a stress response in my navicular bone, which meant that I was coping with two issues simultaneously. It is because that portion, the bone spur, is always contacting the navicular bone, which causes tension in it. The stress on the navicular bone is more concerning to me than the bone spur itself. The stress response can potentially cause a stress fracture, which is a whole new kettle of fish.”
Davis is suffering from triple damage. In addition to coping with the stress response, he suffered a fracture in the bone spur that was attached to the navicular bone.
Davis said that he would “probably” require surgery over the summer to remove the bone spur, which one specialist warned Davis might have grown as early as college. Davis indicated that he would need surgery during the offseason. Navil bone fractures are considered a significant injury that almost always necessitates surgical intervention and a protracted amount of recuperation time.
I don’t like surgery, he said. I feel like, if it can be avoided, then let’s avoid it. When that became an option, I wanted to make sure I get the best understanding for me because I’m the one who has to make the decision with that.
