Pelinka: Lakers 'Feel Good' About LeBron James, Anthony Davis' Health After Injuries

The offseason just got even better for Lakers' fans Sunday as general manager Rob Pelinka revealed that the organization is positive about LeBron James and Anthony Davis' current health status.

During halftime of Los Angeles' Summer League game against the Charlotte Hornets, Pelinka gave an update on both superstars and their outlook moving forward through the offseason as they recover from their respective foot injuries.

"We feel good about the offseason and the treatment that AD and LeBron are getting," Pelinka said. "All the reports have been good around both those injuries, in terms of the guys being able to move past them."

James, 38, just wrapped up his 20th season in the league and played the majority of the second half of the regular season and playoffs with a torn tendon in his right foot that caused him to miss 13 games between February and March.

He was still able to lead the Lakers on an impressive run to the Western Conference Finals but was definitely missing some of his signature burst, lift and explosiveness due to the injury.

Following Los Angeles elimination at the hand of the Denver Nuggets, he revealed that he would get an MRI and was considering offseason surgery.

As for Davis, his health history has been a bit of saga since he got to the Lakers ahead of the 2019-2020 season and last year was no different. The eight-time All-Star wound up missing 20 straight games from mid-December until late January with a bone spur and stress reaction in his right foot.

He played in just 56 games during the regular season but suited up for the entire postseason run as well.

As part of the effort to help keep Davis healthy, the Lakers plan on playing him next to more big men next season, allowing him to stay at power forward, his preferred position. They added Jaxson Hayes in free agency and Pelinka wants to keep adding to the center rotation.

"I think dimensional-izing the skills at that position would be important," Pelinka said. "So we don't want to sign someone who replicates the skills that Jaxson Hayes has. So, if we can diversify the big position and have different looks, that would be good."

As good of an offseason as Los Angeles has had thus far, brining in a number of good free agents while also retaining key players, none of it matters if James and Davis aren't on the floor.

So, Sunday's update may be the best one of the summer.
