Davis returned to practice Wednesday after being sidelined because of a poke in the eye during the Lakers’ scrimmage game against the Orlando Magic.<\/p>\n

“The eye is getting better, way better than when I initially got this,” Davis told reporters. “I’m moving in the right direction. That’s the plan, for me to play.”<\/p>\n

The seven-time All Star practiced in protective goggles but is hopeful he can resume competitive action without the eyewear.<\/p>\n

“It was definitely different in practice,” he said. “It felt different. I won’t necessarily have to wear them (Thursday), it’s just a precautionary thing.<\/p>\n

“If I need them, they’re there. I didn’t want the first time of me wearing them to be in a game. I wanted to test them in practice. As practice went on, I got more and more used to them.”<\/p>\n

The setback of his eye injury aside, Davis feels refreshed as the Lakers prepare to restart their bid for championship glory.<\/p>\n

“I think it was good for everybody,” he said of the enforced leaguewide hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think guys did a good job of using that time wisely to take care of their bodies and making sure they came back ready.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
