Anthony Davis Health, Injury Updates & History

Per Mavericks PR Davis met with his physician today and underwent a medical evaluation of the ligame...

After exiting a game early last week, Davis has been diagnosed with a low-grade calf strain and was scheduled to be re-evaluated after a two game absence, which ends Monday. Anthony Davis has suffered calf-related injuries at least twice: once in the 2020-21 season (right calf/heel area) that caused him to miss a large chunk of the season, and this current left calf strain. These injuries are part of his larger lower-body injury history and although they haven’t always been season-ending, they’ve contributed to missed games and interruptions in his playing rhythm.

Left the October 29 game in the first half with lower-leg soreness and did not return. He reportedly entered the game with bilateral Achilles tendinitis and is not expected to play Saturday vs. Detroit.

Anthony Davis underwent offseason surgery to repair a detached retina in his right eye, a result of multiple blows to the face last year. The procedure was successful, and while he reported to Mavericks camp about 15 pounds heavier than last season, he is still expected to recover fully and resume his workload. The main concern is his position’s frequent contact, which increases the risk of re-injury, leading doctors to require protective eyewear for the rest of his career. Notably, Amare Stoudemire underwent a similar surgery during his career and returned without any decline in performance, offering optimism for Davis’s outlook.

As he makes his recovery from an adductor injury, Davis was initially considered doubtful, is suddenly trending towards a return to action officially listed as questionable for tonight's game vs Brooklyn

News has not been made official on Anthony Davis, but with the Kyrie Irving injury and the Mavericks season in peril, there is speculation Davis may be shut down to end his season, if so he will have only played one game for Dallas before next season

Is expected to miss multiple weeks with a left adductor strain sustained in his Dallas Mavericks debut on Feb. 8, it's worth noting that he came into that game with an injury to his abdomen sustained on Jan. 28 and there could be a correlation, reports suggest surgery may be on the table, he will be monitored closely for a more definite timeline

Exited his Dallas Mavericks debut in the third quarter and did not return, he came into the game with an abdomen strain and it's possible that is what he aggravated, he will continue to be monitored

Has a chance to make his Dallas Mavericks debut on Saturday, Feb. 8th after dealing with an abdomen strain sustained during his time with the Lakers, he will continue to be monitored if that may change

Exited the second game of a back-to-back vs Philadelphia on Jan. 28 with an abdominal strain, the severity of which is unknown but he did not return, abdominal/oblique strains this season to other players have resulted in significant time lost, an MRI confirmed that he will need to be re-evaluated in one week
