After a promising start in the Mavericks outfit, Anthony Davis was struck by bad luck, as he sustained a serious injury in his premiere show with the Mavs. AD has remained out since the debut game against the Rockets, which took place on February 8. Davis' recovery updates have continuously provided fans the updates about the forward's recuperation. In the process, some fresh visuals have come forward, which although leave an impression that he has almost recovered from the injury, yet at the same time have become the subject of flak.
Davis could be close to returning after being sent down to the Texas Legends earlier this week to participate in 5-on-5 practice since the Mavericks do not have enough bodies to play 5-on-5. But he was also seen golfing, which enraged Mavs supporters.

Wow, taking a vacation. Don’t do that with the Mavs.

Davis had a fantastic debut for the Mavericks before going down, finishing with 26 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, and three blocks, but it's disappointing that he's only played in one game after being the primary replacement for Luka Doncic, who has helped the Lakers climb the Western Conference standings.
