Anthony Davis will remain out for at least the next week due to his left calf strain, the Mavericks announced (via Twitter).
The team stated that the latest reevaluation of Davis’ injury showed good progress, but that he will be examined again in seven-to-10 days, with further updates to come.
“He wants to play. He’s doing everything to get back,” head coach Jason Kidd said, per Mike Curtis of the Dallas Morning News (via Twitter). “For AD, I’m not trying to speak for him but he wants to be out there to help us. but this gives him seven-to-10 days to get better, and hopefully in seven-to-10 days he’s back on the floor.”
Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont has reportedly been involved in the decision-making process on Davis’ return timeline, having pushed for a cautious approach in order to reduce the risk of aggravating the injury or making it worse.
Davis has appeared in five games for the Mavs this season, during which time Dallas went 2-3. He is averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per night.
Davis has missed the last eight games after leaving the team’s October 29 win against the Pacers after six minutes of play. The Mavs currently hold the fifth-worst record in the league at 3-10.
Rigged trade to help the Lakers.
“Rigged.” Care to provide any support for this? Who “rigged” it?
Officials are reviewing footage to determine how Davis got that baby cow onto the court resulting in it’s injury.
Praying it’s nothing serious calf strains have obviously always been an issue but after the last 4 major Achilles tears having calf strains as precursors it’s even scarier
AD thru most of his career. Has complained about playing center. Considers himself a 4 a PF. That was a big issue as a Laker. When the NBA was going more small ball. Now he has a chance to play the 4 only in Dallas. And he still doesn’t get in best shape to do it. He owes the Mavs fan base. His commitment to getting in best shape possible. And justify his trade for Luka. Let’s go AD ……..
He’ll justify it when he’s traded. He needs to play to build up his trade value.
I like to see a davis for morant swap
Let’s go full comedy and do Zion for AD lol
Three team swap?
at least he’ll always be the correct answer to the “what did the mav’s get for Luka” trivia question
I can see the future and the result of the evaluation will be: yeah….he’s still broken. Should have bought the extended warranty on him.
Street Clothes!
