1 week agoESPN's Shams Charania said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show that Dallas Mavericks center
Anthony Davis (thigh) could miss the remainder of the season due to a thigh injury he suffered during his first game in a Mavs uniform on Feb. 8. Charania also reported more devastating news for the club on Tuesday, stating that
Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of this year's campaign after he suffered a torn ACL on Monday against Sacramento. Davis was having a fantastic season before his injury, posting averages of 25.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.2 blocks in 34.2 minutes per contest.

4 weeks agoDallas Mavericks center
Anthony Davis (adductor) was already expected to be out "multiple" weeks in an earlier report from Shams Charania and Tim McMahon from ESPN. In their latest report that confirmed
Daniel Gafford (knee) is out for six weeks, they also said that sources told them Davis is expected to miss "at least four weeks." The report also suggests that the Mavericks are going to be cautious about Davis' recovery since he was the headlining piece in the trade with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Kessler Edwards got the start at center in their last game while
Naji Marshall and
Olivier-Maxence Prosper saw a big increase in opportunities as well.

1 month agoDallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (adductor) is expected to miss "multiple weeks," ESPN's Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon report. His absence may extend to even a month. Fortunately for the Mavericks, Davis was injured only a week before the All-Star break, but he is still set to miss significant time. Davis has joined
Dereck Lively II (ankle) on the sidelines. On Monday against the Sacramento Kings, the frontcourt will also be missing
P.J. Washington (ankle), leaving
Daniel Gafford with a heavy workload.

1 month agoDallas Mavericks forward
Anthony Davis (adductor) won't play on Monday night versus Sacramento. AD made his Mavericks debut on Saturday versus the Rockets. He had an excellent showing, amassing 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks. Unfortunately, Davis suffered an adductor strain in that one and was ruled out for the remain of the contest. It's unknown how much time he'll miss. If
P.J. Washington (ankle) suits up, he'll likely slide back to the four spot. But if Washington is also out,
Naji Marshall, who had 16 points on Saturday, should continue to benefit from an offensive standpoint.
