“Anthony Davis … continues to progress in his recovery and has been cleared to advance his on court work. Additional updates will be given when appropriate,” the statement said.
Although this is good news, the reality is Davis is still a ways away from a return to the Lakers, according to coach Frank Vogel.

This is tough for the Lakers. The defending champions are without both Davis and LeBron James, who is recovering from an ankle injury.
Davis has not played since Feb. 14. He is averaging 22.5 points and 8.4 rebounds in 23 games this season.
