Mavericks Keep Anthony Davis Out vs. Bucks as Calf Strain Lingers

Dallas is taking a cautious, game-by-game approach because his calf issue overlays ongoing Achilles tendinopathy.

Overview

  • Anthony Davis missed a sixth straight game on Monday, ruled out against Milwaukee after being upgraded to questionable earlier in the day.
  • Head coach Jason Kidd said Davis was on the floor for work and is making progress, with no target return date set.
  • Davis has been sidelined since leaving the Oct. 29 Pacers game with a left calf strain after entering with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy.
  • Dallas is 3-7 and short-handed, with Kyrie Irving still recovering from knee surgery, Dereck Lively II out and Dante Exum sidelined, while Daniel Gafford was available vs. the Bucks.
  • Public scrutiny of GM Nico Harrison has intensified in recent reporting following the slow start and last season’s Luka Dončić trade.
