Anthony Davis probably won’t play against the Pistons
The Dallas Mavericks they’ve already started the season with some news they probably don’t want to hear. Anthony Davis was out from the previous game early against the injury-plagued Indiana Pacers, and looks will miss their next gameaccording to NBA insider Marc Stein.
“Anthony Davis is expected to be ruled out of Dallas’ game Saturday in Mexico City against Detroit after exiting Wednesday night with left calf soreness. Official status update remains TBA after Davis was listed with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy earlier this week,” Stein wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
It is uncertain when Davis could return to the floor, but there is no timetable.
Injuries continued to haunt Davis throughout his career, and only in a small stint with the Mavericks. The hope was that Davis could stay healthy this season, especially with several other players battling injuries, such as Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford and Derek Lively II.
Cooper Flagg will have more responsibility at the start of his rookie season, and is still trying to adjust to playing point guard. So far, Flagg has been up and down, but the more reps he gets, the better he will be as the season continues. Klay Thompson didn’t shoot the ball consistently to start the season, and if Davis misses extended time, he’ll need to find a rhythm sooner rather than later.
Hopefully, Davis won’t have to miss much time, as he is heavily relied upon on both sides of the ball. The Mavericks are currently 2-3, and don’t want to fall to start the season; then they will play catch-up for most of the year.
Davis is key to the Mavericks’ success, and the team will only go as far as he takes them.
