Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis was forced to leave his team’s loss on Wednesday night due to a left hand injury. Davis initially tried to play through the injury, but checked out with 2:08 remaining in the game. He was later spotted doubled over in pain in the tunnel to the locker room.
Postgame, Jason Kidd had no update on Davis, saying “He hurt his left hand. That’s all we had.”
This is the latest injury in an injury-plagued season for Davis. It’s been a season of fits and starts for Davis, who has missed several games due to groin strains and soreness. That’s seen the talented big man’s stats drop off this season from his typical production.
It’s unclear the extent of the injury to Davis, which makes his potential trade availability murky as well. Davis has been heavily involved in trade rumors in recent weeks, with the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors most often mentioned suitors.
