Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis will miss the team’s upcoming game against the Detroit Pistons in Mexico City on Saturday after sustaining a left leg injury.
The Mavericks announced Friday that Davis was diagnosed with a low-grade left calf strain following an MRI. He had traveled with the team and participated in practice sessions before the diagnosis.
Concerns about Davis’s leg arose after the Mavericks’ recent game against the Indiana Pacers. While the team has not disclosed how long he will be sidelined, Davis is expected to miss at least two games.
His absence adds to the Mavericks’ injury concerns, with Kyrie Irving still recovering from a torn ACL. The injuries have forced the team to adjust its lineup and game strategy as it continues its push for playoff positioning.
The Mavericks’ coaching and medical staff are prioritizing Davis’s recovery, though no specific timeline has been provided for his return.
The Mavericks remain focused on player health and long-term performance as they navigate the season without Davis in the short term.
