Mavs rookie Cooper Flagg played wellscoring 27 points with a historic stat on a positive note on Christmas Day. But the injury woes continued The Mavs saw Anthony Davis leave the game early with an injury.
After the defeat, the head coach Jason Kidd had no solid information about the big manbut one was provided on ESPN’s Shams Charania Friday.
“Mavericks star Anthony Davis suffered a minor groin strain and is likely to miss several games, sources tell ESPN. Davis, a major trade target, will be evaluated daily. The Mavs have taken a cautious approach to injuries, especially for Davis, and will continue to do so.”
Davis played just 10 minutes Thursday before exiting with a groin injury and has played in just 16 games this season.
The former Los Angeles Lakers star has endured plenty of injuries throughout his career, but this latest one is just another problem. He currently leads the Mavs with 20.5 PPG, although he has played slightly less than half the games of Flegg, who is averaging 19.4 PPG.

Dallas faces the Sacramento Kings on the road Saturday and then the Portland Trail Blazers before heading into January, and, once again, Davis’ status will be one to watch.
