Anthony Davis playing status vs Blazers
Given his questionable designation on the injury report, there is currently some doubt as to whether or not Anthony Davis will be able to suit up on Monday evening in Portland. Davis exited the Mavericks' game on Christmas Day against the Warriors due to the injury, with the team ultimately losing the game in relatively lopsided fashion.
Joining Davis on the injury report is Brandon Williams, who is questionable with a left calf contusion, while the players who have been out for an extended time for the Mavericks will remain out of the lineup.
Meanwhile, the Blazers have not yet submitted their injury report, as they are on the second night of a back to back, having upset the Boston Celtics on Sunday afternoon in front of their home fans.
Overall, the Davis news comes at a tumultuous time for the Mavericks, with trade rumors swirling around the team amid their frustrating 12-21 start to the season. In particular, the Atlanta Hawks were recently highlighted by NBA insider Marc Stein as a potential suitor for Davis' services, but it remains to be seen whether or not anything will materialize on that front.
In any case, the Mavericks and Blazers are set to tip off at 10:30 pm ET from Portland. After that, Dallas will next take the floor on New Year's Day at home against the Philadelphia 76ers.
