AD to be reevaluated in 2-3 weeks, source says

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis will be out indefinitely after an MRI on Monday revealed a calf strain and an aggravation of tendonosis in the right Achilles, a source told ESPN.

Davis missed two games last week with tendinosis in his right Achilles and had to exit Sunday's loss to the Denver Nuggets shortly before halftime after aggravating the injury.

Davis, who had the MRI in Denver, will be reevaluated in 2-3 weeks, but the source said it's extremely unlikely he returns before the end of the All-Star Break on March 10.

The Lakers and Davis will be conservative on a timeline for his return to play. Even prior to the MRI, general manager Rob Pelinka, Davis and agent Rich Paul discussed taking their time on Davis' return to the lineup, sources told ESPN.

Davis suffered the injury late in the second quarter of Sunday's game, as he drove on Nikola Jokic and bumped legs with the Nuggets center. Jokic's right knee made contact with Davis' right quad. When Davis gathered his dribble after the foul was called and planted his foot, he appeared to aggravate his lower right leg.

Davis stayed in the game to take two free throws, making both, then checked out with 2:36 remaining in the second quarter and limped toward the locker room with Lakers assistant athletic trainer Jon Ishop by his side.

The nine-year veteran has been experiencing discomfort in his lower right leg for weeks and underwent an ultrasound last weekend, which confirmed the injury.

Davis sat out two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and returned for Friday's 115-105 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, against whom he scored 35 points on 16-for-27 shooting -- two off his season high in scoring. He was adamant he did not rush back too soon, even though he acknowledged feeling soreness toward the end of the Memphis game.

Davis scored 15 points in 14 minutes with four rebounds and an assist before exiting Sunday's game.

ESPN's Dave McMenamin contributed to this report.
