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.

According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks and P.J. Washington have been having positive talks where it is very “likely” for him to sign an extension with the organization.

The terms of the deal are four years worth a little under $90 million. Washington became eligible for this extension on Friday.

Since being traded in the middle of 2023-24 season to Dallas, the 27-year-old has emerged himself as one of the keystone players for the Mavericks. Washington has been seen as the glue guy and a solid fit for Jason Kidd’s scheme.

In his first full season with the team, Washington averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.

His previous contract saw him making roughly $14.1 million a season, this deal would see him making about $22.5 million a season. A noticeable increase to his salary each year.

When he signs this deal, this will be the biggest contract of his six-year career.
