Overview
- Davis exited late in Dallas’ loss at Utah with a left-hand injury after contact near Lauri Markkanen, and head coach Jason Kidd confirmed only that it was to the left hand.
- The Mavericks and Hawks are not in active talks, and reporting indicates Atlanta has resisted including Zaccharie Risacher or its valuable 2026 first-round pick in proposals.
- Toronto has conveyed exploratory interest, but league reporting says any Raptors deal would likely require Dallas to take back long-term contracts and receive significant draft capital.
- Team and league sources indicate Mavericks ownership prefers to evaluate Davis alongside rookie Cooper Flagg before making a decision on an in-season move.
- Davis’ remaining salary obligations—about $54.12 million this season and $121.23 million over the next two years—and his camp’s desire for a team willing to extend him, plus the Feb. 5 deadline, have produced speculative trade blueprints without traction.
