Davis may be further out.
ESPN reported that Davis suffered a left adductor strain and that he could be out for a few weeks. Power Forward tried to tone down concern about suffering.
“Just the leg was tight, like a little spasm,” he said after the fight against Rockets. “Come on right back and tried to loosen it and all. Obviously you are dealing with the AB stem still, so just tried to loosen it. It wouldn’t really loosen and let go, but it’s nothing serious. I have a good time ”

Luka Dončić Odds: What kind of numbers can he put up with Lakers?
The concern for Davis ‘health comes in the midst of Mavericks’ trade with Luka Doncic. The deal stunned the rest of the league and fans of the NBA. It reverberates so much that NFL stars were left as confused as someone while on the Super Bowl Lix Radio Row in New Orleans last week.
Davis is not a scrub in his own right. The nine-time All-Star played 76 games in the 2023-24 season, but has missed at least 20 games in each of the last five seasons.
