What happened to Anthony Davis? Live injury updates for Mavericks vs. Warriors on Thursday 12/25/25

Dallas Mavericks NBA

UPDATE: Davis will not return.

With 8:50 left in the second quarter of Thursday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, Anthony Davis was replaced by P.J. Washington. Davis leaked out in transition after deflecting a pass on defense but suffered an injury to his lower body while running down the court.

Davis is now in the locker room.

Prior to exiting, Davis contributed three points, three rebounds, a steal and two blocks in 11 minutes of action.

Washington will likely play some small-ball center, but Daniel Gafford should see an uptick in playing time while Davis is out.

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.
