The Dallas Mavericks recently acquired Anthony Davis from Los Angeles Lakers and the latter is out of action due to a groin injury. But, according to the reports surfaced he might be making a comeback on the court sooner than expected.
Dallas Mavericks have lost their star player in Kyrie Irving for the rest of the season after he tore his ACL. According to Shams Charania, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, who was the first round pick during the 2023 drafts has been also ruled out for the season after he damaged his ligament in his right wrist.
What is the update provided by Dallas Mavericks for Anthony Davis?
Even after their star players being ruled out of the season, Mavericks currently find themselves tenth overall in the Western Conference and are on the cusp of making the Play-In Tournament.
The Mavericks were dealt with injuries throughout the season as their former star player, Luka Doncic didn't feature from Christmas until they shipped him to Lakers for the big man.
Anthony Davis' debut for the Mavericks was nothing short of a fairytale but he only managed to play for 31 minutes before suffering a left adductor injury that has kept him out of action.
According to Joey Mistretta of Clutch Points, Dallas Mavericks have announced that Anthony Davis is improving and has been cleared for more on-court movements.
Mistretta took to his X account (formerly known as Twitter) and posted,
Anthony Davis is ‘improving’ and has been ‘cleared for more dynamic on-court movements’, the Mavericks announce.
Anthony Davis return time still unknown
This comes as a positive news for the Dallas Mavericks fans but it is still unclear when will the star center return to the court.
For those asking if Anthony Davis will play again this season, I don’t know the answer. The Mavericks did not give a specific injury timeline for a return. All we know is that he is “improving” and that updates will be provided weekly with just over a month remaining in the regular season, Mistretta posted on his X account.
The smart move for Dallas Mavericks is that they should let Anthony Davis rest this season and prepare for the next NBA campaign.
