Anthony Davis Returns to Full-Contact 5-on-5 as Opener Status Remains Uncertain

Dallas' near-term outlook hinges on his availability with Kyrie Irving sidelined by an ACL tear.

Overview

  • Marc Stein reports Davis participated in full-speed five-on-five this week, his first game-speed work since July.
  • The return to scrimmages follows summer surgery to repair a detached retina that surfaced in July reports.
  • Davis is currently listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ Oct. 22 home opener against the Spurs.
  • He logged only nine appearances for Dallas last season due to adductor and other lower-body injuries.
  • The Mavericks drafted No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, signed D’Angelo Russell, and held a veteran-led bonding camp headed by Klay Thompson.
