Dallas Mavericks star forward/center Anthony Davis likely will undergo surgery to repair ligament damage and be sidelined for several months, ESPN reported on Tuesday.
While the network noted Davis' season likely would be over in Dallas, it also reported that the Mavericks' trade talks haven't stopped, given the 10-time All-Star could return during the postseason for a contender.
Davis was seeking multiple opinions after undergoing an MRI exam on Friday, one day after he sustained the injury while defending Utah star Lauri Markkanen on a drive to the basket. Davis was in obvious pain after the play and left the contest with 2:08 remaining after he was holding the hand and unable to defend Markkanen's next basket.
Davis hasn't even been with the Mavericks for a year yet. He came over in the controversial and disastrous deal in which star Luka Doncic was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Davis, who turns 33 in March, is making $54.1 million this season. He is due to make $58.5 million next season and has a player option for $62.8 million in 2027-28.
Davis has played in just 29 games for the Mavericks -- nine last season and 20 this season.
He is averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots this season.
