Overview

  • The team update follows earlier reports that surgery was likely and would end his Dallas season, a characterization Davis publicly disputed on X.
  • Davis injured his left hand on Jan. 8 against the Jazz, with imaging indicating ligament damage and prompting multiple medical evaluations.
  • ESPN reports he could still miss eight or more weeks despite avoiding an immediate procedure, with a formal check-in targeted around six weeks.
  • Reporting indicates the Mavericks have renewed trade talks with multiple teams, keeping options open as the market weighs his health and timeline.
  • Davis has played 29 regular-season games for Dallas since last February’s trade and is on a large multi-year deal, factors that complicate potential deals.
