The Wizards announced Thursday that Davis (finger) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been cleared for limited individual on-court activities, which is encouraging. The superstar big man is recovering from ligament damage in his left hand, and it's fair to expect the 16-45 Wizards to take things slowly with Davis. With Alex Sarr (hamstring) also on the shelf, Washington is down to Tristan Vukcevic (thigh), Anthony Gill (illness) and Julian Reese at center.

Davis (finger) has yet to be cleared for basketball activities and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is "progressing as expected," but a return in the near future appears to be off the table. A previous report from Chris Haynes on Feb. 6 indicated that Davis will likely sit out the remainder of the season, and that is looking increasingly likely.

Davis (hand/groin) is expected to sit out the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was traded from Dallas to Washington on Wednesday as the Wizards look to accelerate their rebuild. The star big man hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand and was already expected to miss an extended period. While the hand injury reportedly won't require surgery, he isn't expected to suit up for Washington until the 2026-27 campaign, as the club gives him ample time to recover. The veteran center also missed time this season with a groin injury and a calf strain. He'll aim to be fully healthy by the start of next season and help the Wizards reach the postseason alongside Trae Young (knee/quadriceps), who holds a player option for 2026-27. Davis has a player option for 2027-28 and is eligible to sign a contract extension in August. He appeared in just 20 regular-season games for the Mavericks prior to the trade, during which he averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals in 31.3 minutes per contest.

Davis (finger) was traded from Dallas to Washington on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell (illness) and Dante Exum (knee) were also sent to Washington, with Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham and Marvin Bagley going to Dallas along with two first-round picks and three second-round picks.

EDGE Analysis

After months of speculation, the Mavericks will pivot away from Davis and will go all-in on a rebuild. Davis is extension eligible, and given the draft capital moved by the Wizards, it seems likely the franchise is looking to keep him for the long term. Plus, this will give Trae Young (knee) another partner in the pick-and-roll game. As for the immediate fantasy impact, Davis is still sidelined by a finger injury and is not expected to be re-evaluated until early March, and the Wizards will almost certainly be out of the playoff hunt by then.

A second opinion revealed Davis (finger) won't require surgery, and he'll be re-evaluated in six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Early indications were that Davis would go under the knife and miss multiple months. However, a second opinion was enough to convince Davis to rehab without a procedure. Still, he'll be sidelined for at least six weeks. meaning he likely won't be back until at least early March. Daniel Gafford, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse will handle center duties while Davis is sidelined.

Davis is likely to undergo surgery to repair ligament damage in his left hand and miss several months, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was already set to be out for an extended period of time, and it now sounds like he's facing a multi-month absence. Charania notes that the Mavericks could still move the star big man to a playoff contender ahead of the trade deadline, which could impact his return timetable down the stretch. With Davis sidelined for the foreseeable future, Daniel Gafford (ankle) is lined up as Dallas' top center when available.

Davis sustained ligament damage in his left hand and could miss a "number of months," ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a brutal blow for Davis and for Dallas, as he was expected to be a prime trade deadline target. But now, depending on a second opinion and a possible need for surgery, Davis may be sidelined through the Feb. 5 trade deadline. More clarity on a timetable will likely be known in the coming days, but Davis' fantasy managers should be bracing for a lengthy absence. His absence will open up plenty of minutes in Dallas, and players such as P.J. Washington (ankle), Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson and Caleb Martin will be candidates to soak up some of them.

Davis (hand) didn't return to Thursday's game against the Jazz. He finished the night with 21 points (10-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Davis' injury is not yet known after he checked out with 2:08 remaining in the fourth quarter in obvious pain. He can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share. Klay Thompson and Caleb Martin would be in line for more playing time if Davis is unable to go Saturday in Chicago.

Davis ended Tuesday's 100-98 win over Sacramento with 19 points (7-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 36 minutes.

EDGE Analysis
