Dallas Mavericks suffered a blow in their 126-116 loss to Golden State Warriors on NBA Christmas Day, as Anthony Davis had to exit prematurely due to issues with his right groin and was ruled out for the second half.
The center tried to join a quick play with 8:50 remaining in the second quarter, but immediately halted his run with visible signs of pain before limping to the bench and requesting a substitution. After a timeout, the medical staff escorted Davis to the locker room to evaluate the injury.
The franchise reported it as spasms in his right groin, and although Jason Kidd avoided elaborating on his condition post-game, the team informed ESPN that the decision not to bring him back into the game was "precautionary." Davis left the arena without making any statements.
Injuries once again pose a hurdle for the Dallas star, who had already missed 14 games this season due to a left calf strain. Last season, upon his arrival from the Lakers after the trade involving Luka Doncic, he debuted with a groin strain and was sidelined for 18 games.

Christmas, an unfortunate day in Dallas
Interestingly, this is the second consecutive year that the Mavericks lose one of their stars to injury on Christmas Day. Last season, it was Doncic who suffered from calf problems against Minnesota, which turned out to be his final game with the Texan team.
