Anthony Davis has been diagnosed with a minor groin strain and is expected to miss multiple games, reports ESPN’s Shams Charania (Twitter link).
Davis left the Mavericks‘ Christmas Day matchup against the Warriors early as a result of the injury. Charania reports that Davis will be evaluated daily and that he expects the Mavs to continue their practice of being cautious in managing the star big man’s health issues.
According to Mike Curtis of the Dallas Morning News (via Twitter), Davis will be working out every day as he looks to return to play as soon as possible.
After missing 14 earlier in the season due to a left calf strain, Davis had come back strong, averaging 26.3 points and 12.8 rebounds over his last six games, during which time the Mavericks went 4-2 with wins over the Rockets, Pistons, and Nuggets.
Charania notes that Davis is considered a major potential factor in this year’s trade deadline, given the Mavericks’ struggles to amass wins and the dismissal earlier in the season of former general manager Nico Harrison.

“Anthony Davis To Be Evaluated Daily”
The perpetual injury report
Street Clothes strikes again!
It has been mentioned previously that this nickname is listed under his Basketball Reference profile. To be fair, he does have good fashion sense.
His trade value is a negative. Myabe for another real bad contract.
I love to see an A.D article on here. Moreso for the comments than anything else. Dude might get ripped on in Trade Rumors more than any other player. Keep em coming!
Jimmy Butler getting ripped for playing amazingly well and making his teammates better on defense gotta be worse than the AD takes.
He’s been playing great these last 5 games. He doesn’t look shot to me. I hope he gets well quick.
And there goes his trade value even further.
Dumbest trade ever..
Trade deadline is Feb 5. Plenty of time for AD to get right. And play to show himself. Might not be best move for Mavs. Considering what they gave up. You can wait it out till next yr with Kyrie on team. Then decide to blow it up or not. I just wouldn’t rush into this.
I’d do anything that I could to avoid paying a guy named Street Clothes $55 million per year. Mavs season ticket holders should get a pass to the training room so they can actually see him in action.
