Davis (leg) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

It isn't clear exactly what happened to Davis when he suffered the injury. He came down normally after a jump shot but was unable to run back on defense, as he clutched at the ankle area of his left leg. Dwight Powell started the second half of Wednesday's game, so if Davis needs to skip Saturday's game in Detroit, Powell may have the opportunity to start.

Davis is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left lower leg soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Davis departed Wednesday's game in the first quarter while favoring his left leg, and he's now questionable to return. While he's idle, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin and Dwight Powell could see more minutes.

Davis went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Pacers with an apparent left leg injury, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis landed regularly on a jumper, but began favoring his left leg shortly after. The 32-year-old big man eventually departed the game and went back to the locker room for further evaluation. While he's out, Naji Marshall, Dwight Powell and Caleb Martin could see more action. Davis was listed on the injury report before Wednesday's game with an Achilles injury.

Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been nursing an Achilles issue, but that won't keep him off the floor. The superstar big man has put up some solid numbers this season, averaging 25.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 27.3 percent from deep.

Davis (Achilles) has been listed as probable to play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is nursing an Achilles issue, but it doesn't appear severe enough to keep him off the floor. The superstar big man is coming off a 26-point double-double in Monday's game against the Thunder. He's averaging 25.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 52.1 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from deep.

Davis contributed 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes in Monday's 101-94 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Davis recorded his fourth consecutive 20-point double-double to open the season, though his effort wasn't enough to prevent the Mavericks from falling to 1-3 on the year. The 10-time All-Star continues to be a dominant interior force and remains one of the league's premier big men, with durability being the only recurring concern -- one that hasn't surfaced yet this season. He'll aim to stay hot Wednesday against a Pacers team that lacks a proven frontcourt.

Davis ended Friday's 117-107 loss to the Wizards with 27 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the strong numbers in the box score, Davis' performance was erratic when it mattered. He missed a couple late free throws while the outcome was still in doubt and then coughed up the ball on a bad pass to Cooper Flagg, finishing with five turnovers in total. Davis has begun the 2025-26 season with back-to-back double-doubles, pulling down 13 boards each time, and staying healthy will be the veteran big man's biggest challenge.

Davis notched 27 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and five turnovers in 38 minutes during Friday's 117-107 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

That's two straight double-doubles for Davis to open the year, but it's also been two straight losses for the Mavericks. There's no question about Davis' ability to stuff the stat sheet, but managers will hope the losses don't become a frequent thing this season, as that would heighten the chance of an early-season shutdown for the oft-injured big man. The Mavs will look to right the ship Sunday against the Raptors.

Davis had 22 points (7-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-92 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Davis finished with a full line, including a 22-and-13 double-double, despite shooting just 7-for-22 from the field. Outside of the poor shooting and, of course, the result, it was a good night for those who drafted the oft-injured superstar. Look for him to find his rhythm in what could be a favorable matchup against the Wizards on Friday.

Davis finished with 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 FT, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 121-94 preseason win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Davis racked up a good number against his former team, and the big man's minutes ramped up to the kind of usage he'll see in the regular season. The increase is likely a conditioning move for the Mavericks, who need Davis to be at full strength right away when the regular season commences next week.
