Los Angeles Lakers' Anthony Davis readies for return as LeBron James deals with ankle sprain

The Los Angeles Lakers have listed LeBron James and Anthony Davis as doubtful for Tuesday night's road game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Davis went through a full live practice for the first time since suffering a right mid-foot sprain Feb. 16 against the Utah Jazz, coach Frank Vogel said Monday.

James did not participate in practice, Vogel said. The Lakers star stayed back at the hotel to undergo treatment on the left ankle sprain he suffered in L.A.'s 116-108 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

Vogel said the timing of Davis readying for a return just as James is dealing with another injury that could keep him out of the lineup fits with the «snakebit» nature of the Lakers' season.

L.A. is No. 10 in the Western Conference standings, holding a one-game lead over the San Antonio Spurs for the final play-in tournament spot with eight games left.
