Breaking news on Anthony Davis' injury with the Dallas Mavericks

In the 2025/26 season, the NBA is having a hard time getting started for the Dallas Mavericks. The Texas franchise, which has begun a new exciting era with Cooper Flagg, has only managed to win 2 of their first 5 games. And the news doesn't get any better, as Anthony Davis has re-injured himself.

The Mavs confirmed this Friday that Anthony Davis will miss at least the next 2 games of the team due to a strained left calf, an injury that forced him to leave last Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers during the first quarter.

The star center, a key piece in the interior structure of the Mavs, underwent an MRI that confirmed the mild nature of the problem. Nonetheless, the team's medical staff has decided to err on the side of caution. Davis will be reevaluated after the two-game tour in Mexico City, where Dallas will face the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets.

“It will be a day-to-day evaluation,” explained Davis when asked by the media. “But I feel better, there's no doubt about that.” His optimism is a good sign for a franchise that has relied on his experience and impact on both ends of the court since his arrival.

Caution in a season that has just begun

The Mavericks prefer to proceed with caution, aware of Davis's injury history and the demanding schedule ahead of them. The coaching staff led by Jason Kidd aims to avoid any unnecessary risks in this early stage of the 2025/26 season, where the player's health will be crucial to sustain the team's aspirations in the competitive Western Conference.
