"The injuries and lukewarm interest for Davis and Morant could remove two top trade candidates from the board until the offseason. As for Antetokounmpo, team sources told ESPN's Jamal Collier earlier this month that the Bucks are actively looking for trades to improve around their two-time MVP. But with Antetokounmpo out for an extended period because of a calf injury, will Milwaukee stay cautious and regroup in the offseason?"
"The status in Dallas Anthony Davis was thought to be off the list of top trade candidates because of his wrist injury. But, as ESPN's Shams Charania reported earlier this month, Dallas has renewed talks regarding the 32-year-old forward. That doesn't mean Mavs governor Patrick Dumont and the front office are rushing to deal Davis within the next nine days. "Patrick is not going to sign off on a deal just to do a deal," a source told ESPN's Tim MacMahon."
Injuries to Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant have replaced blockbuster deals as the defining storyline before the NBA trade deadline. Injuries and lukewarm interest could remove Davis and Morant from trade consideration until the offseason. The Bucks remain interested in improving around Antetokounmpo but face a decision while he recovers from a calf injury. Jimmy Butler III suffered a season-ending ACL tear that could influence Golden State's choices, and Jonathan Kuminga requested a trade. Only one trade has occurred so far — Trae Young to the Washington Wizards — while most trades historically occur in the week before the deadline.
