Anthony Davis remains committed to returning to the court for the Dallas Mavericks despite growing pressure from within the organization to shut him down for the season.

The situation has created tension within the organization, with NBA insider Shams Charania reporting that some front office executives prefer Davis sit out the remainder of the season, especially following Kyrie Irving’s season-ending injury. However, Davis has firmly rejected these suggestions, determined to contribute to a late-season playoff push. His lone appearance for Dallas showed immense promise, as he recorded an impressive 26 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists before his injury derailed what many hoped would be a transformative acquisition for the franchise.
Tim MacMahon Reports on Anthony Davis’s Comeback Plans
ESPN’s Tim MacMahon has provided Mavericks fans with encouraging news regarding Anthony Davis’s return to action. According to MacMahon, Davis is “steadfast in his determination” to play again this season, with a potential return as early as next week.
In preparation for his comeback, the Mavericks have assigned Davis to their G League affiliate, the Texas Legends. This assignment aims to help the star player regain his game conditioning and rhythm before rejoining the NBA roster.
The development comes amid various reports about Davis’s status, including speculation that he might be shut down for the remainder of the season. However, both Davis and his representatives have apparently rejected such notions, focusing instead on a return to the court.
Mavericks supporters are understandably anxious to see if Davis can make a significant impact upon his return and whether the team’s major roster moves will ultimately prove beneficial.
