According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, in rather shocking news, the Dallas Mavericks will most likely be without Anthony Davis for a couple of months. He has sustained ligament damage to his left hand.

If Davis does not need surgery, then the Mavericks will be without him for six weeks. However, if he would need surgery, then it would require extra time of recovery, most likely meaning he would miss multiple months.

Due to the timing of his latest injury, this could run him past the NBA trade deadline. That means the Mavericks will have no value in him to be able to move him off their books. He suffered the injury during Thursday’s loss to the Utah Jazz.

Before this injury, the 32-year-old athlete was out multiple weeks due to a calf strain.

Davis is due $58.5 million next season, and has a player option for $62.8 million in 2027-28.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Anthony Davis has suffered a groin strain and is expected to miss multiple games. This came during the Dallas Mavericks game against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day.

His official injury was “right groin spasms.” He was ruled out during halftime, even though it’s not expected to be a serious injury, Dallas will be cautious in their approach of when to bring him back.

Throughout the entire season, their fanbase has seen them be overly careful in their handling of Davis’ injuries and his proneness to injuries.

Despite the many rumors, reports, and speculation, the Mavericks have no plans of slowing it down and want to make a run for the postseason. This is one of their main reasons for their handling of the franchise superstar.

The Mavericks hold an 8-8 record with the 32-year-old this season. Without him, Dallas is 4-12.

According to the Dallas Mavericks, center Daniel Gafford has suffered a sprained ankle and will be out for the next two-to-three weeks.

He suffered the injury during the opening practice of training camp on Tuesday. Dallas’ regular season begins on October 22nd, where they take on the San Antonio Spurs.

Last season, fans saw the 27-year-old miss the final two months due to a Grade 3 sprain of the MCL.

In 57 games, Gafford averaged 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
