Anthony Davis is ready to return to the Lakers after more than two months on the shelf.

More than two months later, Davis is confident that time has arrived with 14 regular-season games left in the Lakers' push to defend their NBA title.

Indeed, the Lakers have managed to stay in the No. 5 spot in the Western Conference standings despite playing without Davis for nine weeks and without LeBron James since March 20. The Lakers went 14-16 without Davis, and they're 7-9 since both Davis and James went down. ``Honestly, if you're out for this long, it usually takes a couple of weeks to feel like you really have your legs under you, and your rhythm and timing is back,'' Vogel said. ``It's going to take some time, and as far as the minutes restriction, it's really going to be evaluated on a day-by-day basis.''

``It was something I've never felt before as far as pain,'' Davis said. ``I didn't want to have to go through that again. ... I've felt pain there before, just going through the process the first time I injured it, but the second time _ knock on wood, I never tore an Achilles, but I kind of felt like sharp pain, like it was ripping, which I never felt before. It was tough to flex my foot. I knew it was something serious.
