According to reports headlined by the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis suffered a left ankle sprain during their victory against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day.

Davis only played seven minutes in the game after rolling his ankle in the first quarter. When the 31-year-old went to the locker room, he never returned.

This was a non-contact injury while in the paint trying to grab a rebound; Davis immediately grabbed his ankle and walked off into the locker room.

The good news is that he could walk off under his power; Davis did not need assistance.

Los Angeles lists him as “day-to-day” with no clear timeline for his return.

Their next game is this Saturday, December 28th, against the Sacramento Kings. It is a home game.

According to the Miami Heat, they have no interest in trading away their superstar player. Pat Riley, who usually doesn’t do this, has had enough of these rumors and put them to bed.

“We usually don’t comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches,” said Riley. “Therefore, we will make it clear – We are not trading Jimmy Butler.”

On Christmas Day, ESPN’s Shams Charania said Butler wanted to be traded by this upcoming season’s trade deadline. This speculation has grown since Charania and Butler’s agent were online feuding.

Trade rumors and reports have risen since Miami decided not to extend the veteran last offseason.

For right now, Riley says the Heat will not be trading Butler. Essentially saying people like Shams are completely wrong and will remain loyal to the 35-year-old for at least through this season.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks are bracing for the reality of missing their star player for an extended period.

Luka Doncic had an early exit in their Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves after suffering a calf injury in the first half. Once he went to the locker room, he never returned.

The 25-year-old left the arena in crutches, as it’s expected he completes an MRI Thursday.

Earlier in October, Doncic had a contusion on the same calf. This has been a reoccurring injury for some points in his career.

Doncic has played in 22 of the 30 available games for Dallas this season.
