James missed 27 games, mostly because of a high right ankle sprain, and Davis missed 36 because of pain in his Achilles tendon, knee and groin.

However, we have received confirmation that they have both reported improvement in their conditions during the offseason. In his Media Day indulgence with the press, LeBron James told ESPN about the improvement in his ankle’s condition.
