\n<\/p>\n
After missing 17 games with a sprained MCL, superstar Anthony Davis was welcomed back into the Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup on Tuesday night in a big win over the Brooklyn Nets 106-96. <\/p>\n
After it was announced that Davis wouldn\u2019t have a concrete minutes restriction, he ended up playing 25 minutes, finishing with 8 points, two rebounds, two assists, and four blocks.<\/p>\n
After the game, AD shared how he felt on the floor after missing over a month (spanning 17 games) with his injured left knee via ESPN. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor the most part, I felt fine, felt great out there, and the first couple minutes the adrenaline took, and after that, the wind caught up to me,\u201d Davis said. \u201cWhen I caught my second wind, I was fine for the rest of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know about the whole minute restriction thing; I think for me that might come off,\u201d Davis said. \u201cMight tell coach Vogel I don\u2019t need that, but we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
