Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis has been assigned to the NBA G League’s Texas Legends as he continues to rehab his adductor injury.
Davis came to Dallas in the shocking trade that sent Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Mavericks surely hoped he could team with Kyrie Irving to keep them among the best teams in the Western Conference.
However, injuries have largely prevented that.
Irving was lost for the season to a torn ACL, and Davis suffered an adductor strain during his first game with his new team on Feb. 8. After Irving’s injury, ESPN’s Shams Charania appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and suggested Davis might not return to the lineup this season either.
“I think him, his representatives are gonna huddle up,” Charania said. “I think they’re gonna have some very hard conversations. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that one game was the last time we’ve seen Anthony Davis this season.”
Yet NBA insider Marc Stein reported on March 10 that Davis was “progressing toward an in-season return.”
While durability has been a concern for Davis at times throughout his career, including this season, having him available would be a significant step in the right direction for a Mavericks team that has not experienced the 2024-25 season many envisioned.
