Anthony Davis Injury Update
Anthony Davis hurt his left leg during the Mavericks’ game against the Pacers on Wednesday. He landed fine after a jumper, but started limping as he went up the court. He crouched by the bench, looked uncomfortable, and then called for a sub. Medical staff took him to the locker room for checks. The team said he has soreness in his left lower leg and did not return for the rest of the night.
He was already dealing with Achilles tendinopathy, so this new pain is worrying. Davis was listed as probable before the game. The soreness flared up, which made him sit out early. The Mavericks said he’s questionable for upcoming games, but there’s no news about any serious damage yet.
Davis has missed time in the past with leg and muscle injuries. He sat out six weeks with a strained adductor right after his trade to Dallas. Last season, he only played nine regular-season games. Fans have seen him struggle with these nagging aches throughout his career. Whenever Davis gets hurt, the Mavericks lose a key defender and rebounder. This is not ideal for Dallas who are off to a slow start and missing other players like Kyrie Irving.
No official timetable is out for his return. The team will likely watch how he responds over the next couple of days. Mavericks are set to play the Pistons next, but Davis could be rested to help him recover. With his injury history, caution comes first. For now, fans and coaches are waiting for another update. The Mavericks will depend on players like Dwight Powell and Caleb Martin if Davis sits out longer.
Davis was averaging 25 points and nearly 12 rebounds this season before this injury. The team hopes he bounces back soon but also knows there’s a risk for flare-ups with Achilles soreness. Updates will follow if scans show anything more serious after medical evaluation.
