The Mavs are in deep trouble. When Anthony Davis made his debut for the team on Saturday, the enraged Dallas fanbase saw a glimmer of hope as he dropped 26 points and sixteen rebounds in only three quarters. However, things soon went completely south as The Brow was forced to miss the final quarter due to an unfortunate adductor injury. Well, it looks like AD’s issue might be far serious than expected as latest report emerges about his health amid the team’s rising injury woes.
As per veteran insider Shams Charania, “The Mavericks will have a cautious rehab for AD. And I’m told the expectation is that Davis will need rehabilitation for the coming weeks on the adductor injury.” Turns out, Davis is expected to miss multiple weeks of action, potentially a month due to the left adductor strain. Even his spot on the upcoming All-Star game have been given to his new teammate Kyrie Irving, as AD will sit out the entire All-Star break.
Of course, this is not a good sign for the Mavs because Davis had just returned from an abdominal strain when he got traded from the Lakers. Sure, he is having a dominant season, averaging 25.7 points and twelve rebounds. But it might not be of much use for the Dallas franchise if the big man cannot stay healthy.

Adding to the concerns, AD is not the only Mavs big man absent because of injury woes. Unfortunately, Daniel Gafford suffered a right knee sprain during Monday’s Kings clash. Well, he was forced to leave the game after logging in only ten minutes, finishing with 4 points and three boards. Latest report reveals that Gafford will be re-evaluated in two weeks, which means he is also out through the All-Star break.
