"Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis has sustained ligament damage in his left hand that could require surgery that would sideline him for several months, sources told ESPN. An MRI on Friday revealed the damage sustained while Davis was defending Lauri Markkanen on a drive to the basket late in Thursday's road loss to the Utah Jazz. Sources said Davis will get second opinions to determine if surgery is necessary."
"The Mavs have been aggressively exploring the trade market for the 32-year-old Davis as the Feb. 5 deadline approaches. Sources said the market for Davis, a 10-time All-Star, is complicated by his history of durability issues and his desire to sign a lucrative contract extension this offseason. Davis is due $58.5 million next season and has a player option for $62.8 million in 2027-28."
Anthony Davis sustained ligament damage in his left hand that may require surgery and could sideline him for several months. MRI showed the injury occurred while defending Lauri Markkanen late in a road loss to the Utah Jazz. He will seek second opinions to determine whether surgery is necessary. If Davis avoids surgery, he is expected to miss at least six weeks. The Mavericks have been exploring trade options ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, but interest is complicated by Davis's durability concerns and his desire for a lucrative contract extension. Davis has averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 20 games this season.
