Anthony Davis wearing a sling on his arm sent Dallas fans into a frenzy
Anthony Davies is out indefinitely after suffering a serious hand injury that may require surgery. It’s another step in what has been a frustrating season for Dallas Mavericks until now. However, ahead of the club’s game on Saturday, Davies caused a stir among fans after he was seen wearing a slingshot.
The 32-year-old center was wearing a sling and what appeared to be a cast on the left hand during the Mavericks’ scrimmage. Anthony Davis didn’t shoot with his teammates at the clip, and appeared to catch the ball with his good hand to pass to a teammate.
Mavericks fans couldn’t help but share their reactions to the 10-time All-Star wearing the belt. Many believe this is a sign that he will undergo surgery, while others share how bad they feel for him. In addition, other fans point out Davis’ injury history over the years.
Host of the Mavs Podcast Kevin Gray Jr. claimed: “Yeah, Anthony Davis is going to need surgery on that man; strap?!?”
“I feel terrible for him, I really do. I don’t care if he’s a millionaire or whatever he’s still human and he’s had an absolute s*** year. ANYONE would be mentally challenged from all the bs he’s been through. Then you add in the fan vitriol, idk man s**** gross,” stated one individual.

This person said“Man needs a hyperbaric chamber lol.”
“Slings don’t always indicate a bigger problem; most of the time they’re used as a reminder of your injury to yourself and others. It’s pretty much standard procedure for even minor hand injuries,” explained the optimistic fan.
Anthony Davis played in 20 games for the Mavericks this season. In those contests, he is averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game while shooting 50.6% from the field and 27.0% from the three-point line. But Dallas will have to fill the void for at least a few weeks due to the injury situation.
