DALLAS - Anthony Davis was rusty in the return from the longest absence of the eight-time All-Star’s NBA career, scoring four points while missing eight of 10 shots in the first half against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers star missed the previous 30 games with right calf and heel issues before starting the first of LA’s two consecutive games against the Mavericks on Thursday night. Coach Frank Vogel said the plan was to play Davis about 15 minutes, all in the first half. “He’s going to need his get his legs under him as to be expected,” Vogel said before the Dallas game. ___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsLoading...
