Dallas Maverick Star Power Forward/center Anthony Davis is expected to sit for a few weeks for the left adductor, sources told ESPN on Sunday night.
His absence could extend into a month due to injuries that shortened his epic debut in his new franchise. Davis was the headlining Mavs’ return from the controversial trade of 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, remaining at 1:37 in the third quarter after scoring 26 and 16 points They beat the Houston Rockets on Saturday at 1:37. Rebounded in 31 minutes, 7 assists and 3 blocks.
He was removed from Monday’s home game against King Sacramento when Mavs released an evening injury report.
Editor’s Pick
Davis, 31, downplayed concerns about his post-match injuries and said he was “very confident” that it wasn’t a significant setback. Davis played in five previous games (his last three with the Lakers, his first two games) due to abdominal strain.
“My legs got tight like a little cramp,” Davis said Saturday. “I came back and tried to loosen it. Obviously, I’m still dealing with AB tension, so I tried to loosen it. I’m not really loosening it and letting go, but that’s not serious.”
PJ Washington, who sat in the second half of his victory with the Rockets due to a sprained right ankle, was listed as suspicious against the King. Key also reserves the doubts of Max Christie (right shoulder tension) and Dante Exam (left Achilles tension).
