Davis is set to be out for six weeks as he'll take a nonsurgical route, per Shams Charania.
Anthony Davis will play it out this 2025-26 season despite severe hand complications.
Per Shams Charania of ESPN, the Dallas Mavericks star won't undergo surgery to repair the ligament damage in his left hand. He'll be out at least six weeks.
According to Charania, Davis obtained a second opinion with specialist Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles on Tuesday and is now compelled to go for the nonsurgical route in his hand recovery.
This report by Charania now contradicts the past announcement he made that Davis will likely undergo surgery. The Mavs star dropped a viral social media post that denied his previous reporting.
For his continued availability this season, Charania noted that the trade talks around Davis have been reopened with multiple teams interested.
Davis has been limited to just 20 games in this injury-ravaged season with the Mavericks. His frequent inactivity significantly impacted the Mavs' standing, who have a current 15-25 record.
As the trade deadline approaches, Davis' recovery status and future in Dallas will continue to be monitored.
