The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum. The Mavericks started the play-in round on a positive note. They defeated the Sacramento Kings the other day with a resounding margin and would like to keep the momentum going when they face the Grizzlies tonight. Anthony Davis, who walks with a lot of expectations, came up with a standout performance against the Kings. He scored 27 points and contributed 9 rebounds and 1 assist as well, to prove instrumental in Mavs 120-108 win. The onus will be on him once again tonight. But he will not be able to influence the game in any way if he does not play. So, let's figure out the status of the star forward by looking at the Dallas Mavericks injury report.
Anthony Davis Injury Report
Anthony Davis is listed in the injury report released by the Lakers ahead of the game against the Grizzlies. He is marked as "probable" due to the lingering adductor injury. Thus, he may or may not feature in the game tonight. However, considering it is the stage where a loss could have a detrimental effect, he may play and strengthen the team.
While the injury somewhat halted his growth in the season, still he has been able to produce decent numbers for the team. He was faring well for the LA Lakers, and he has adjusted well at the atmosphere of Dallas following the trade. He has been averaging 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game this season. Thus, it will be a huge setback to the Mavericks if he does not play tonight.

Aside from Luka Doncic, three more individuals are listed in the Dallas Mavericks injury report. Here's the full list:
- Brandon Williams: Probable due to an oblique injury
- Anthony Davis: Probable due to adductor injury
- Kyrie Irving: Out due to knee injury
- Olivier- Maxence Prosper: Out for the season due to wrist injury
The Memphis Grizzlies on the other hand also have a handful of players listed in the injury list. Ja Morant is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Mavericks due to an ankle injury. Zyon Pullin is out with a knee injury for Sunday's game against Dallas. Jaylen Wells is out for the season with a wrist injury and concussion. Brandon Clarke is out indefinitely after receiving an orthobiologic injection in his right knee but is expected to make a full recovery before the 2025-26 season without requiring surgery.
Despite the injuries, a cracker of a game is expected to take place between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies. With all to look forward to, let's see who comes out on top in this contest.
