The Mavericks have taken a cautious approach with injuries, specifically for Davis this season, and will continue to do so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Davis suffered this injury with 8:50 remaining in the second quarter of the Mavericks&#8217;\u00a0126-116 Christmas Day loss\u00a0to the\u00a0Golden State Warriors. He pulled up after attempting to sprint to catch a hit-ahead pass in transition and immediately limped to the bench, asking for a substitution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">He was ruled out at halftime due to right groin spasms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Davis, 32, has dealt with a series of muscle strains since arriving in Dallas in February as the headliner in the return of the controversial Luka Doncic trade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Davis, who was recovering from an abdominal strain at the time of the trade, suffered a related adductor strain in his Dallas debut. That injury sidelined him for 18 games. He missed 14 games earlier this season due to a left calf strain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Mavericks are 8-8 with Davis in the lineup this season and 4-12 when he does not play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis has sustained a minor groin strain and is expected to miss a few&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":370597,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[158509,49,48,117726,459,82],"class_list":["post-370596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-anthony-davis-sports-basketball-player-player-statscom-603096","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-dallas-mavericks-sports-basketball-team-team-statscom-6","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
