Davis (adductor) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was listed as doubtful heading into the day, but after evaluating him during morning shootaround, the Mavericks are more seriously considering having the star big man return to action. If Davis does end up getting the green light to play in advance of the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip, he'll likely face restrictions in his first game since Feb. 8.

Davis (thigh) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Even with the Mavericks falling out of the playoff picture, it looks like Davis will try to suit up down the stretch. He hasn't played since Feb. 8 due to a left adductor strain but went through multiple 5-on-5 practices in the G League recently and may take the floor during Dallas' four-game road trip. Following Monday's game, Dallas plays in New York on Tuesday, in Orlando on Thursday and in Chicago on Saturday.

Davis (adductor) is progressing toward a potential return during Dallas' upcoming four-game road trip that begins with Monday's game versus the Nets, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis hasn't played since Feb. 8 due to a left adductor strain but is gearing up toward a return to action. The star big man has been going through 5-on-5 practices in the G League and could take the floor during Dallas' four-game road trip. Until Davis is able to suit up, Kai Jones and Dwight Powell should continue to soak up the majority of the team's center minutes.

The Mavericks assigned Davis (adductor) to the G League so he can participate in a second round of 5-on-5 practices with the Texas Legends on Friday and will recall him after, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis continues to ramp up toward a return to action and will take part in a 5-on-5 practice in the G League for the second time this week. Although there is no official timetable for the star big man's return, it appears that he will attempt to play before the end of the regular season.

Dallas recalled Davis (thigh) from the G League's Texas Legends on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis participated in 5-on-5 drills during Monday's G League practice as part of his return to action plan, but there's no word on how he fared just yet. As far as a timetable goes, it's still murky whether Davis will suit up for the Mavericks in the near future.

The Mavericks assigned Davis (thigh) to the G League's Texas Legends on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com relays that Davis will participate in 5-on-5 drills during Monday's G League practice as part of his return to action plan, but it's still unclear when the superstar big man may play in a game. Davis is working his way back from a left adductor strain he sustained in his Mavericks debut Feb. 8, and there have been rumors that he could be shut down for the season. However, given the Mavericks' current injury situation, they may have no choice but to play Davis again this season, even if they've fallen completely out of the playoff picture.

Davis (adductor) has been cleared for more on-court movements and is set to be evaluated weekly by the Mavericks moving forward, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mavericks have shed some light on Davis' status after he sustained a left adductor strain in his team debut Feb. 8. Shams Charania of ESPN relayed Tuesday that the club could end up shutting the star big man down for the season, though this recent update suggests that the club will slowly increase his workload in practice before making a final decision.

Shams Charania said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show that the Mavericks could shut down Davis (thigh) for the rest of the 2024-25 season.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has yet to play another game for Dallas since suffering an injury in his Feb. 8 debut with the team. Now that Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign, the Mavericks might do the same with their new superstar big man, which would essentially end any hope of a postseason run in perhaps one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory for the franchise.

The Mavericks announced Thursday that Davis will have his left adductor strain re-evaluated in two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
During his debut with the Mavericks on Feb. 8 in the win against the Rockets, Davis went down with a left adductor strain, keeping him out the last three games for Dallas. The superstar big man will remain sidelined for at least the next two weeks before having the injury re-evaluated to determine a timetable for his return to the floor. The one-time NBA champion finished with 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in his first game with the team, showing his vast array of skills on both ends of the floor. In his absence, the Mavericks have had to turn to Kessler Edwards and Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the frontcourt, with Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dereck Lively (ankle) also injured.

Davis (groin) is expected to be sidelined for up to a month, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis suffered a left adductor strain during his Mavericks debut Saturday against the Rockets and it seems like the star big man is in line for an extended absence. The news confirms that Davis will be forced to miss the All-Star Game, but the timing will help in limiting the number of games the new franchise player will miss amidst Dallas' push for the postseason. Naji Marshall, Dante Exum (Achilles) and Kessler Edwards are likely candidates for increased minutes with Davis sidelined.
