• Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Confirmed out Tuesday

  14H ago • By RotoWire

  Davis (adductor) won't play Tuesday against the Knicks. In his return during Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets following an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain, Davis logged 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes. He'll sit out the second leg of the Mavericks' back-to-back set, but assuming he experienced no setbacks coming out of Monday's game, he should be ready to play again Thursday in Orlando.

• Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Delivers 12 points in return

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Davis (adductor) recorded 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets. Davis' stat line in his return from an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain wasn't especially eye-popping, but he converted well in the paint, avoided foul trouble and made his mark on the defensive end while playing under a 28-minute restriction. The Mavericks are expected to hold Davis out Tuesday against the Knicks in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but provided he didn't experience any setbacks coming out of Monday's contest, he could be ready to handle a slightly larger minutes load in his next appearance Thursday in Orlando.

• Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Cleared to play Monday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Davis (adductor) is available for Monday's game against the Nets. Initially listed as doubtful for Monday's contest after he recently resumed practicing in the G League, Davis had his status gradually updated throughout the day and will officially put an end to an 18-game absence. Though he'll take back his spot in the starting five, Davis will be restricted to 28 minutes, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. The return of Davis could leave fewer minutes in the frontcourt available for Naji Marshall and Kai Jones, one of whom will likely move to the bench to clear room for Davis on the top unit.

• Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Expected to play Monday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  The Mavericks have upgraded Davis (adductor) to probable for Monday's game against Brooklyn, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports. Davis was initially listed as doubtful to make his return from an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain, though he's now expected to suit up. The star big man isn't expected to play in both halves of back-to-back sets yet, meaning he'll presumably sit out of Tuesday's game against the Knicks if he's deemed available Monday. Davis will likely operate under a minutes restriction Monday in what would be his first game since Feb. 8.
