Mavericks big man Anthony Davis has been diagnosed with a low grade left calf strain and will miss at least two games before being reexamined, the team announced today (Twitter link).
Davis underwent an MRI to determine the extent of the injury, which he sustained in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against Indiana. He was held out of the remainder of that two-point win for precautionary reasons, per the Mavs.
The 32-year-old forward/center will be sidelined for Saturday’s contest in Mexico City against the Pistons and Monday’s game at Houston.
While it’s obviously unfortunate that Davis will be out at least two games, it’s probably close to a best-case scenario for Dallas. The 10-time All-Star entered Wednesday’s game with a sore Achilles, so it’s welcome news that nothing catastrophic occurred.
According to Carlos Rodriguez of The Associated Press, Davis traveled with the team to Mexico City and attended Friday’s practice.
“It is going to be day-to-day,” said Davis. “But I feel better that is for sure.”
