Anthony Davis Injury Report

Anthony Davis is listed in the injury report released by the Mavericks ahead of the game against the Knicks. To the dismay of the fans, the star guard has been ruled out of the game due to a lingering thigh injury. The update on his status comes as disappointing as the star player featured for 27 minutes in the game against the Nets and was able to chip in with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. He was moving well and is expected to improve in the coming days. However, at this point he is seemingly not fit enough to play games on consecutive days, which perhaps could be the reason why the management decided to sideline him for tonight's game against the Knicks.
