US EditionMavs’ Anthony Davis to miss time with ligament damage in hand, AP source says
Davis's left hand injury may require surgery, sidelining him weeks to months and likely past the Feb. 5 trade deadline, impacting Mavericks' rebuilding and playoff hopes.
- Medical imaging released Friday, Jan. 9, revealed ligament damage to Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis's left hand from Thursday's 116-114 loss to the Utah Jazz at Delta Center.
- During Thursday's game, Anthony Davis jammed his left hand defending Lauri Markkanen after contact late in the fourth, was examined by Mavericks trainers, then left the Delta Center locker room.
- Davis finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists before exiting and has appeared in 29 of 80 games, including 29 regular-season and two play-in games for the Dallas Mavericks.
- The injury could keep Anthony Davis out through the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, which could dry up his market, and the Mavericks will face the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, Jan 10, at the United Center, Chicago.
- With Davis due to make over $58 million next season, his absence complicates Kyrie Irving's return timeline from a March 3 ACL tear and threatens Dallas Mavericks' playoff chances.
