Mavericks hopeful Anthony Davis avoids surgery

The Dallas Mavericks are hopeful that Anthony Davis will not require surgery to address his adductor strain. Although Davis is out indefinitely, there is optimism within the organization regarding his recovery. However, no specific timetable for his return has been provided yet.

Davis sustained the injury during his debut game with the Mavericks after being traded from the Los Angeles Lakers. Given the nature of the injury and its potential impact, both Davis and the Mavericks plan to take a cautious approach when determining his return date to ensure a full and safe recovery.

Compounding the team’s injury challenges, the Mavericks are also currently without big men Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, which places additional pressure on their frontcourt depth as they navigate this stretch of the season.
