On Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks will play their first game after firing general manager Nico Harrison. The Mavs officially made the decision to move on from Harrison on Tuesday, just over nine months after the GM traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers in a deal that saw Anthony Davis head to Dallas. AD has been dealing with an injury, so is the star big man playing tonight vs. the Phoenix Suns?
Davis has missed six consecutive games with a left calf strain. As talented as he is, injuries have unfortunately played a big role in his career.
Here's everything we know about Davis' injury status heading into Wednesday night's matchup.

Anthony Davis' injury status vs. Suns
Davis is currently listed as questionable on the NBA injury report. Cooper Flagg is battling a right thumb sprain and is technically on the injury report, but he will be available against the Suns. Dereck Lively II is working his way back from a right knee sprain and is listed as questionable to play.
Dallas' 3-8 start to the new campaign has them sitting in 14th place in the Western Conference standings. It's safe to say things have not gone according to plan for this Mavericks squad. However, the Mavs could turn things around if they can get healthy sooner rather than later.
When it comes to the question of if Anthony Davis is playing tonight vs. the Suns, the answer is maybe.
