Anthony Davis’ injury status against the 76ers
Davis is listed as probable on the injury report. That means the Mavericks forward will more than likely struggle against the 76ers. This is the second straight game for Davis after missing the game against the Jazz.
The Mavericks are starting to get some semblance of form in the last few weeks. A 5-5 record in their last ten games is nothing to write home about, yeah. Still, going .500 is better than their early season performance, and Davis has been an integral part of their defense throughout the season.
Davis has been dealing with injury issues all season, but he’s been really good for the Mavericks when he’s on the court. He had a quiet game offensively against the Pistons, scoring just 15 points, but he made up for it defensively with 14 boards and three blocks on the night. Davis is averaging 19.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks while shooting 50.5% from the field and 33.3% from 3-point range. He has missed six games so far.
Thompson, on the other hand, has struggled mightily this season. Coming off the bench against the Pistons in their last game, the Mavericks guard managed just five points on eight shots with two assists and one rebound. Thompson is averaging 10.8 points on 36.7% shooting from the field and 35.7% from deep.
So when it comes to whether Anthony Davis plays tonight against the 76ersthe answer is probably.
