The Dallas Mavericks need a reinforcement and Anthony Davis can be that guy. The All-Star big man has missed the last six games after suffering a left calf strain. They went 2-4 in that span.
AD reportedly wanted to return in Saturday’s win against the Washington Wizards but was prevented by the front office as turmoil starts to brew between their top officials.

Anthony Davis’ current health state
The Harrison will take care of itself. Meanwhile, the Mavs have jobs to do. The current squad is not playing to the expectations. Maybe things will change once Davis returns.
When will that be? There’s still no timetable but head Jason Kidd says AD is making progress.
“He was on the floor today,” Kidd said when asked about his star forward.

Mavs are currently the second worst team in the Western Conference at 3-7.
