Remains out Saturday Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Davis has been cleared for full-contact practice recently and appears to be trending toward a return after he's missed the past two months due to a right calf strain and tendinosis in his right leg. He'll remain out Saturday, and coach Frank Vogel has said that Davis is "unlikely" to return Monday. However, the Lakers' big man should be able to return to action in the near future.

Impact Sidelined for the past two months with a right calf strain and tendinosis in his right leg, Davis finally looks to be nearing a return to the court. While Vogel admitted Davis is "unlikely" to suit up in the Lakers' upcoming two-game set versus the Jazz on Saturday and Monday, Los Angeles' April 22 game in Dallas would seem to represent a realistic target for the 28-year-old's return to action. Even if that's the case, fantasy managers may want to keep him stashed in an injured reserve spot for that contest, as Vogel suggested that Davis would initially be restricted to 15 minutes in his first game back. The Lakers have gone 13-15 with Davis out of the lineup for the team's past 28 contests.

Impact Vogel admitted that it's unlikely Davis would be available in either contest against the Jazz, and if cleared, the big man would be on a restriction of around 15 minutes in his first game back from the calf injury that has sidelined him for more than two months. That being said, the fact that Davis has seemingly reached the day-to-day phase in his recovery from the right calf strain is an encouraging development for fantasy managers who have held him during his prolonged absence.
