Davis, who has been on the injured list since Nov. 17 with an inflamed disc in his back, said he went through everything but still hasn't regained his quick burst on drives and he was unable to dunk. "I'm obviously not where I would like to be," Davis said before Sunday's game against Sacramento. "A lot of quickness is there, but I'm just waiting for explosion to come. But one of the most difficult things about being injured is not knowing when you're going to be at 100 percent." Coach Byron Scott said Davis will practice with the team today and then participate in Tuesday morning's shoot-around at the Staples Center before the Hornets play the Los Angeles Clippers. "I will then sit down with Baron and talk about where he is, and then I'll talk to our trainer (Terry Kofler) to give him my assessment and get his as well. Then we'll decide how many more practices he might need." Scott all but ruled out Davis coming off the injured list before Tuesday's game. But it could happen before the Hornets play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday at Gund Arena. When Davis returns, backup point guard Alex Garcia will take his spot on the injured list. Garcia is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. "It would be great to get him back and I would have loved for him to have played (Sunday)," Scott said. "But that's not possible. I've got to look out for his best interest and it's getting him back in shape. Second, we have to see if he has any pain. If he doesn't, then we'll take the next step. I could tell in the practice that his timing was off and there were a lot of things that he forgot on the offensive end. But those are things that will come back fairly quickly." Davis has missed 18 consecutive games since injuring his back after taking a 3-point shot against the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 12 at New Orleans Arena. "The one thing I've been doing is working on different aspects of my game," Davis said. "I couldn't do much movement during the past two weeks, but I worked on my shooting, taking mid- range jumpers and free throws. I know in our offense there are a lot of mid-range shot opportunities." CHANGING OF ROUTINE: Normally on extended road trips, the Hornets depart after the game to their next destination. But Scott changed that routine Sunday night. The Hornets will remain in Sacramento today for practice before departing for Los Angeles. They play the Clippers on Tuesday night and the Lakers on Wednesday. "I want us to get a good practice in with no distractions," Scott said. "I think once we get to L.A. everybody kind of goes their own separate ways, even myself because I'm from there." FAST START: Forward P.J. Brown made his first four shots at the start of the game and had 10 points after the opening nine minutes. Brown entered averaging 10.3 points. . . . Guard Dan Dickau came off the bench and made all three shots for eight points in the first quarter. . . . The Hornets made 11 of 17 shots in the quarter but they had to settle for a tied score at 28 entering the second quarter. CATCHING A BREAK: Kings forward Chris Webber missed Sunday's game because of a sore left knee. Webber is the Kings' leading scorer with a 20.5 scoring average. . . . . . . . 大意就是小胖复原进展不错，接下来到LA的两场比赛小胖会做些投射的 练习，教头会再跟小胖还有防护员谈谈伤势恢复的状况．小胖目前速度 恢复的差不多了，可是爆发力还没有完全回来，受这种伤讨厌的地方就 在於不知道何时会回到百分之百的状况．在受伤期间小胖练了不少罚球 还有中距离，最快在星期天对上骑士的比赛就可以看到小胖矫健的身影 了． John Reid can be reached at [email protected] or at (504) 826-3405. -- ※ 编辑: ilovet 来自: 140.117.190.7 (12/20 19:02)
