Overview
- Davis exited with 8:50 left in the second quarter after a transition run, holding his right groin, and was ruled out at halftime with right-groin spasms.
- The Mavericks told ESPN he was held out out of an abundance of caution, and he finished with three points, three rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 11 minutes.
- Dallas lost 126-116 to Golden State, and head coach Jason Kidd said he had no postgame update on Davis' status.
- ESPN, citing sources, now characterizes the injury as a minor groin strain and says Davis is expected to miss a few games while being evaluated daily.
- This continues a season of recurring injuries for Davis, who previously missed 14 straight games with a left calf strain, with the Mavericks 8-8 when he plays and 4-12 when he does not; Dallas visits the Kings on Saturday and the Trail Blazers on Monday.
