Anthony Davis breaks silence after injury
With Kyrie Irving recovering from a torn ACL, Dallas Mavericks he already had little room for error in the 2025-26 NBA season. Their need for a running back and consistent offensive production has been evident through the first five games of the campaign. A loss Anthony Davis over an extended period of time, he could instantly push the Mavs into survival mode and make fans wonder if they are even a playoff team. Fortunately, the forces of the front field had positive news to share.
“It’s going to be day-to-day,” Davis said of the calf injury he suffered in Wednesday’s 107-105 win over the Indiana Pacers, via ESPN . “But I feel better, that’s for sure.”
When the 2020 champion and four-time All-NBA first teamer hunched over in obvious discomfort, fans assumed the worst. Considering Davis’ long history of injuries, it’s understandable why panic filled the American Airlines Center. In his debut with the Mavericks last February, he suffered an abductor strain and played just nine contests with the team.
Expecting Davis to play 70-plus games like he did during the 2023-24 campaign is probably asking too much, but Dallas is counting on him to set the tone and position the team for a strong start to the NBA year. Still, the Mavs clearly don’t want to get the three-time All-Defensive All-Star back on the court too soon.
Although it is not official yet, Anthony Davis is expected to waive Saturday’s clash with the Detroit Pistons in Mexico City. While the NBA certainly wants one of its more recognizable stars to lead this international spectacle, Dallas has a season to consider. ClutchPoints will keep you updated on this injury situation, but it looks like the franchise has avoided a brutal blow. Mavericks fans and general manager Nico Harrison can breathe a sigh of relief. For now.
