According to sources cited by Marc Stein, Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II are steadily progressing toward returning to action during the current NBA season.
Davis recently took a significant step in his recovery by participating in a 2-on-2 workout over the weekend, marking the first time he has engaged in such activity since suffering an adductor injury that had initially sidelined him indefinitely.
Meanwhile, Lively continues to rehabilitate from a right ankle stress fracture as he works toward rejoining his team on the court.
Despite these positive updates on player recoveries, the Dallas Mavericks are in a challenging position.
Currently sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference standings, the team would need to secure back-to-back victories in the Play-In Tournament just to earn a postseason berth.
Even if they manage to advance, they would face a daunting task against the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, especially now that they will be without star guard Kyrie Irving, further diminishing their chances of making a deep playoff run.
