Anthony Davis Injury Update: February 4 vs. the 76ers

UPDATE: Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday.

It’s been quite the week for Anthony Davis ($10,500). He strained his abdominal muscle, causing him to miss two games then was traded for Luka Doncic ($11,200) out of the blue. Davis did not play on Sunday when the Mavericks visited Cleveland, but there’s a chance he will make his Dallas debut in Philadelphia on Tuesday if the trade becomes official and he’s healthy. Davis is officially questionable on the injury report.

Even if Davis does play, there’s a ton of uncertainty. How many minutes does he play? How will he be utilized? How will he mesh with new teammates? Will his rebounds go down playing alongside Daniel Gafford?

Dallas plays in Philadelphia on Tuesday then in Boston on Thursday. They return for the start of a five-game homestand on Saturday. I’m thinking Saturday is when Davis makes his Mavericks debut.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
