Anthony Davis injury: “Good progress, but no return date yet”
The new Mavericks update on Anthony Davis mentions real progress but no clear timeline for his comeback: here’s the latest
Dallas probably hoped Anthony Davis’ arrival could soften the blow of losing Luka Doncic and form a new technical core alongside Irving.
Eight months later, the situation looks anything but reassuring: Anthony Davis is out with a left calf injury and has already missed eight straight games, while Kyrie Irving is still sidelined with a torn ACL. There’s no return date, and the outlook remains uncertain.
As for the former Lakers star, the franchise released an update before the game against the Trail Blazers. The latest evaluation showed “good progress” in his recovery, but with a key detail: Davis will only be re-evaluated in 7–10 days.
A re-evaluation, of course, doesn’t mean an imminent return – and Dallas knows this all too well.

Dallas Mavericks
Meanwhile, the Mavericks continue to slide: a 3–10 record, a roster with clear weaknesses, and a rookie like Cooper Flagg who shows flashes of talent but is still fully adjusting to the NBA world.
Until Davis is back in the starting lineup for good, Dallas will have to live with an uncomfortable reality: staying afloat long enough to avoid seeing the standings already compromised by the time AD returns.
