Four weeks for AD to be re-evaluated, means mid-March. Then assuming it’s a two-week ramp-up after (that’s generally been the case), we’re talking the start of April. That’s two weeks left in a season before the Play-In Tournament.
TL/DR version: Is AD done for the year? – 9:47 PM

Davis was 7 for 9 (17 points).
Vogel said it was very deflating, especially considering the way the season’s gone up to this point, with AD + LeBron already missing 40-ish combined games. – 1:05 AM

A remarkable win here for the Lakers. AD goes down but L.A. rallies from down 14 pts to a UTA team that came in on a six-game winning streak thanks to LeBron James scoring 15 of his 33 pts in the 4th Q. Lakers win 106-101. LAL enters the All-Star break at 27-31. – 12:44 AM

LAL, trying to find some energy, in the shadow of the AD ankle injury that took the wind out of their sail, got consecutive drives to the rim from LeBron in the 3rd to get the building going (and him a high 5 from Aaron Donald going up the floor).
LeBron starts the 4th w/a J. – 12:04 AM

Davis experienced significant swelling in the ankle immediately following the injury, sources told ESPN. Vogel said Davis was dejected when he checked in with him at halftime. “Just shaking his head about, you know, really everything,” Vogel said. “Obviously I’m not sure what it felt like, but just being frustrated about it looking like he’s going to miss some time again.” -via ESPN / February 17, 2022
