Overview
- Anthony Davis underwent surgery on July 8 to repair a detached retina sustained during the 2024-25 season, as first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
- The eye injury had not been publicly known and Davis played through it during the regular season and the Mavericks’ play-in games.
- This offseason procedure represents the final step in his rehabilitation after a groin strain sidelined him for six weeks following his midseason trade from the Lakers.
- He is expected to be fully available for the start of the Mavericks’ 2025-26 training camp in late September, marking his first full preseason since joining Dallas.
- His restored availability will be vital as the Mavericks integrate rookie Cooper Flagg and manage Kyrie Irving’s ongoing ACL recovery.
