Mavericks' Anthony Davis Exits Christmas Game With Right-Groin Spasms, Ruled Out

The team cited an abundance-of-caution approach, with no timetable for his return.

Overview

  • Davis left with 8:50 remaining in the second quarter at Chase Center and was ruled out at halftime with right-groin spasms.
  • He recorded three points, three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 11 minutes before heading to the locker room.
  • Reporters noted he was holding his groin as he exited, and ESPN reported trainers focused on his right leg before he agreed to go to the back.
  • P.J. Washington replaced Davis, and Max Christie opened the second half in his place as Golden State extended a 40-36 lead to 71-58 by halftime.
  • The setback follows a left calf strain that cost Davis 14 straight games earlier this season, intensifying availability concerns with his return timeline unclear.
