Overview

  • Head coach Jason Kidd said Davis practiced fully and will be evaluated before the Mavericks choose whether he plays Friday against the Lakers or Saturday against the Clippers, with plans for him to appear in only one of the back-to-back games.
  • Davis signaled he prefers to face the Lakers, telling reporters, “You know what game I want to play,” while noting the final call will be made with medical and coaching staff.
  • The 32-year-old has been out since Oct. 29 with a left calf strain and has missed 14 straight games, during which Dallas has fallen to 5-14.
  • Reporting has detailed Dumont’s earlier decision to block a quicker return without supporting medical metrics, and Davis said he was surprised by the firing of GM Nico Harrison.
  • League reports say Dallas is evaluating trade possibilities for Davis, with insiders expecting Klutch Sports to seek an extension if he is dealt, and a viral post claiming a trade to the Clippers has been debunked as fake.
