NEW YORK — Anthony Davis' neon sneakers were greener than a traffic light, the first play in his first game back drawn up to prove that he was ready to go.
After winning the opening tip Tuesday in Brooklyn, Davis caught the ball at the top and quickly pushed it to LeBron James on the wing. Setting a soft screen while James drove toward the paint, Davis rolled to the rim, where he hung and caught a lob with one hand for a dunk for his first points in more than a month.
"Obviously," James said, "right away you see what he's capable of."
