EDGE Analysis
Head coach Jason Kidd told reporters Monday that everyone except Kyrie Irving (knee) has been cleared for training camp, which confirms that Davis is on track following his July 8 eye surgery. The big man logged 51 regular-season appearances last season between the Lakers and Mavericks, averaging 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals. A true two-way force, Davis' health will be one of the biggest factors in Dallas' push for success this season.

Davis (eye) got back on the basketball floor for the first time since July for five-on-five work Saturday, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis underwent eye surgery to repair a detached retina on July 8. He was expected to return in time for training camp and it appears he's on track to do just that following this latest report. After being traded to the Mavericks in the shocking Luka Doncic deal with the Lakers, Davis' time with Dallas for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign was marred by injuries, as he went down with an abductor injury in his first game with his new squad and then dealt with a knee injury late in the regular season. The one-time NBA champion will hope for a fresh start next month, with training camp set to get underway on Sept. 30.

Davis underwent a procedure Tuesday to repair a detached retina that he suffered during the 2024-25 regular season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being traded to the Mavericks in the blockbuster deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers, Davis dealt with a few injuries, which limited him to just nine regular-season games and two postseason games with his new team. Along with the adductor injury he suffered in his first game with Dallas, the veteran big man also dealt with a knee injury late in the regular season and suffered a detached retina. However, Davis is expected to be ready for training camp following the procedure he underwent Tuesday. In the nine regular-season games he played with the Mavericks, the 31-year-old averaged 20 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game, shooting 46.1 percent from the floor and 23.3 percent from three-point range.

Davis closed with 40 points (16-29 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Davis's game-high 40 points tied for his most points in a contest this season. However, the star big man's dominant outing wasn't enough for the Mavericks to avoid being eliminated from playoff contention. After being traded from the Lakers, Davis averaged 20.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks in 29.6 minutes across his nine regular-season appearances for the Mavericks, as he missed a significant period due to a left groin strain.

Davis (knee) has returned to Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis exited the game briefly due to an apparent knee injury, but he returned to the hardwood after receiving treatment. The big man should continue to operate as Dallas' go-to option on offense down the stretch in a game during which the Mavericks are down by a wide margin.

Davis left Friday's game against the Grizzlies during the fourth quarter with an apparent right knee injury, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis limped off the court and received treatment from the trainers while on the bench, and it's uncertain if he'll return to the game. If he doesn't, Caleb Martin, Daniel Gafford and Naji Marshall would be in line to see more minutes down the stretch.

Davis amassed 27 points (9-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old led the Mavericks in scoring as they pushed one win closer to the playoffs. Davis has been productive when he's been on the court in April, averaging 24.8 points, 11.4 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.2 blocks and 1.4 threes in five appearances, and he'll likely need to come up big again Friday in Memphis if Dallas is going to claim the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.
