Dallas Mavericks enters a tough stretch as it waits to see how Anthony Davis recovers
When team general manager Nico Harrison traded five-time All-NBA First Team franchise star Luka Doncic and big men Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for a package led by ten-time All-Star center/power forward Anthony Davis, the Dallas Mavericks entered the 2025–26 season hoping to validate “the vision” outlined by Harrison.In the midst of this, the Mavericks revealed on Sunday that Davis’ injury had been reassessed and that he seemed to be “making good progress with his recovery,” according to the organization.The report stated that Davis will be reevaluated in seven to ten days, despite the upbeat tone. Davis will have missed 13 games if he returns in seven days, having already missed eight. Davis’ recovery is crucial for the Mavericks. The squad is ranked 13th in the West with a 3-10 record. Dallas has 69 games remaining in the season to make a comeback.Since being acquired by Dallas, he has only appeared in 14 regular season games (plus two play-in tournament games). Due to a calf injury, Davis has missed the Mavericks’ last eight games this season. On Sunday night, he will miss a ninth game against the Portland Trail Blazers.Dallas disclosed that Davis will miss at least the next seven to ten days after Mavericks medical personnel reevaluated the condition. Dallas will then reevaluate Davis.Davis has appeared to be out of shape and a step behind when he has played this season. The 6-foot-10 Kentucky product has been averaging 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.2 blocks, and 20.8 points on.520/.273/.742 shooting splits per game. Even though he no longer has a jumper and lacks the agility required for the position, he has also been largely played out of position at the four spot.Mavs owner Patrick Dumont and now-fired general manager Nico Harrison reportedly disagreed about when Davis would play again for Dallas. Dumont wanted to wait until Davis was completely cleared by the Mavericks medical staff, but Harrison was pressing for Davis to return to action sooner. According to reports, Dallas was concerned that Davis may injure his Achilles tendon or reinjure his calf.Also read: Is Anthony Davis playing tonight?
