Less than a week after the shocking trade that sent him to the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, big man Anthony Davis<\/a> suffered a groin injury in his debut with the team. Unfortunately for Davis and the Mavericks, he will miss multiple weeks because of the injury. However, NBA insider Marc Stein recently gave an update on Davis’ recovery that should make Mavericks fans feel a bit better.<\/p>\n

According to Stein, there is “tangible optimism” that Davis will not require surgery.<\/p>\n

“A firm treatment course and projected recovery timetable have still yet to be announced by the Mavericks … but there has been tangible optimism in Dallas this week that Anthony Davis (adductor strain) can avoid the surgical route,” Stein tweeted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, Stein also said the Mavericks “will be cautious”<\/a> during Davis’ recovery and that there is no concrete return timetable yet.<\/p>\n

One source briefed on Anthony Davis’ recovery tells @TheSteinLine that no specific recovery timetable has yet been established beyond the determination that the Mavericks and Davis “will be cautious” in pinpointing a return date.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before his injury, Davis looked great for the Mavericks. In his first game with the team, he recorded 31 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks.<\/p>\n

Anthony Davis Will Not Play in the All-Star Game<\/h3>\n

Earlier this year, Davis (then with the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>) earned an All-Star nod. This is the 10th selection of his career. However, because of the injury, he is unable to play in the game this year. Instead, his teammate Kyrie Irving<\/a> was named his replacement. This is Irving’s ninth selection and first since the 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n
