Mavericks' Anthony Davis to work with NBA G League affiliate as he tries to come back from injury
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis is heading to the NBA G League to get some five-on-five work in as he prepares for his return from a left adductor strain.
Davis will be working out with the Texas Legends, the Mavericks’ G League affiliate.
The 10-time All-Star has appeared in just one game with the Mavericks since they acquired him six weeks ago in the blockbuster trade that sent five-time all-NBA guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Davis had 16 points, seven assists and three blocks while playing 31 minutes in a 116-105 victory over the Houston Rockets on Feb. 8, but his injury caused him to leave the game late in the third quarter. He hasn’t played since.
The 32-year-old Davis has appeared in 43 games this season and is averaging 25.7 points, 15.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks.
The Mavericks haven’t been able to practice much lately as they try to preserve a roster that’s been depleted by numerous injuries. The Mavericks have played multiple games with the league minimum of eight players available.
