Anthony Davis (adductor) has been approved for more dynamic on-court movements and will be evaluated weekly, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News, following a left adductor strain from his Mavericks debut on February 8.
Fantasy Impact
Davis inches forward after a potential season-ending scare flagged by Shams Charania, with Dallas opting to ramp up his practice load before deciding his fate, offering hope to fantasy managers. His elite scoring, rebounding, and defensive stats hang in limbo, but weekly updates keep him a stash candidate in all leagues. Patience could pay off if he avoids a shutdown.
Anthony Davis could have played his one and only game for the Mavericks this year, per Shams Charania via an interview on ESPN.
Fantasy Impact
Davis has been out with an adductor strain since joining the Mavericks as part of the Lakers blockbuster trade for Luka Doncic. With the team going through a multitude of injuries, the latest being Kyrie Irving's ACL tear, Shams reported that it's not out of the question the Mavericks have in their best interests to shut down AD for the year. It's a big blow for Mavericks fans and fantasy managers alike. In the meantime, expect the Mavs to continue to piece-meal their lineups together.
The Mavericks announced that Anthony Davis will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Davis is reportedly "making good progress" but he'll remain sidelined into March, meaning he will miss the game against the Lakers on February 25. Naji Marshall should be among the players who take on bigger roles in the front court for the Mavericks.
The expectation is that Anthony Davis will not need surgery to treat his adductor strain.
Fantasy Impact
It is expected to be a rest and rehab situation for Davis in his recovery. He is expected to be back on the court at some point this season for Dallas, but he is without a clear timetable to return.
Anthony Davis (adductor) won't play in Wednesday night's game against the Golden State Warriors.
Fantasy Impact
Davis has officially been ruled out for Wednesday night's game, which comes as no surprise at all. He is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to an adductor injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't have any high hopes for him to take the court in the near future. P.J. Washington Jr. (ankle) and Naji Marshall will see a lot of work for Dallas in the meantime.
