Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis had to head back to the locker room and did not return to Wednesday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers.
The Mavericks said Davis is dealing with ‘left lower leg soreness.’
He was listed as probable on the Mavericks’ Tuesday injury report, with his injury described as ‘Bilateral Achilles; Tendinopathy.’
Davis was seen on the broadcast grabbing his lower left leg. The Mavericks initially said he was ‘questionable’ to return but he was ruled out a little over 30 minutes later.
Davis, infamously traded for Luka Doncic in February, is averaging 25 points and 11.8 rebounds per game this season. But Mavericks fans will now be holding their breath again, hoping for good news on this latest injury.
