Overview

  • Team officials said Davis sustained a low‑grade left calf strain in Wednesday’s win over the Pacers and will miss the Mexico City game vs. the Pistons and Monday’s road game in Houston.
  • An MRI confirmed the calf diagnosis after he exited in the first quarter with lower‑leg soreness and was held out for the remainder of the game.
  • Jason Kidd and Davis both described his status as day to day, and Davis traveled to Mexico City and participated in Friday’s activities.
  • The Mavericks plan to re‑evaluate Davis after the two‑game trip, with a potential update before Wednesday’s home game against the Pelicans.
  • Dallas' thin frontcourt heightens the impact of his absence, with Dereck Lively II sidelined by a knee sprain and Daniel Gafford still out with an ankle injury.
