Overview

  • ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reports Dallas will test the market for Anthony Davis ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
  • Anthony Davis is sidelined with a left calf strain and the team says he will be reevaluated in seven to 10 days.
  • Kyrie Irving is progressing ahead of schedule from ACL surgery with an optimistic return window of late January or the All-Star break, per Marc J. Spears.
  • Governor Patrick Dumont, with Michael Finley, Matt Riccardi, Jason Kidd and Mark Cuban, is guiding a pivot toward a Flagg-centered build after Nico Harrison’s firing.
  • Rival executives question Davis’ trade value due to his injury history and sizable contract, suggesting Dallas may have to temper expectations on any return.
