Davis sprained the MCL in his left knee on Dec. 17 and the Lakers announced he would miss at least four weeks.

Head coach Frank Vogel declined to confirm a timeline for Davis to play for the Lakers but the Los Angeles Times reported the target was to get him back in the lineup during the upcoming six-game road trip.

Vogel said there's still "a reconditioning and ramp-up of work involved" before Davis can play in games. Vogel continues to say "bone bruises are tricky" and hasn't offered further details on the team's plan.

The Lakers entered Tuesday with a 6-8 record without Davis. In 27 games this season, he averaged 23.3 points and 9.8 rebounds.

The Lakers host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
