The Dallas Mavericks are facing a significant setback just as Anthony Davis was beginning to make his mark with the team.
Reports suggest Davis could be sidelined for up to a month with a left adductor strain, an injury he sustained during his Dallas debut against the Houston Rockets.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Dallas, considering its previous struggles without Luka Doncic, having posted a disappointing 9-15 record when he was out this season before being traded.
ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst recently voiced serious concerns about the Mavericks’ competitive outlook going forward.
“It’s hard to look at them and say they’re going to be fine without Anthony Davis,” Windhorst said, via NBA on ESPN.

Davis’ stint with the Mavericks has already proven to be a roller-coaster ride.
After arriving in Dallas as part of the blockbuster trade, the big man was putting together an impressive performance before disaster struck.
His dominance was on full display as he posted 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in just 31 minutes.
However, the performance was cut short when he went down in the third quarter.
The injury situation in Dallas is becoming increasingly complicated.
While the team boasts one of the Western Conference’s deepest center rotations, its depth is being severely tested.
Derek Lively II’s extended absence due to a broken bone had already left the frontcourt thin, and Davis’ injury compounds the problem.
Though Daniel Gafford provides some relief, the spotlight now shifts to guard Kyrie Irving, who’s dealing with a disk issue in his back.
With Davis sidelined, Irving would become the offensive centerpiece, but the Mavericks can’t afford any more setbacks.
