Anthony Davis Injury Report
Anthony Davis has been listed in the Dallas Mavericks injury report and will remain out for tonight's game, owing to the Groin injury he suffered earlier in the month during his debut game for the Mavericks.
After a shock trade from the LA Lakers, AD made a promising debut for the Mavericks. He scored 26 points in his premiere appearance in the royal blue but sustained an injury in the same game, which has kept him out till now. Davis' absence comes as a frustrating sight for the Mavericks fans, as they are already disappointed over the transfer of Luka Doncic, who over the years formed a cult statue in Dallas.
The franchise and fans would have to wait more for Anthony Davis' return. As per the latest update, the star Center will undergo a revaluation in the next two weeks. Until then he may keep missing out on the action.
