Overview

  • Dallas said an MRI revealed ligament damage in Davis’s left hand and noted he is seeking multiple medical opinions without giving a timetable.
  • ESPN reported Davis could require season-ending surgery or miss at least six weeks if he avoids an operation.
  • Chicago returns to action after a home game was postponed because condensation made the United Center floor unplayable.
  • The Bulls have dropped three straight, while the Mavericks have won four consecutive meetings between the teams.
  • Both lineups are thinned by injuries, with Chicago missing multiple rotation players and Dallas leaning on Flagg as Dallas grapples with poor three-point shooting and recent turnover issues.
