It looks like Anthony Davis may very well suit up for the Dallas Mavericks again this season, which is a bit of an upset relative to expectations. Davis suffered an adductor injury in his first and only game with the Mavs following the astonishing Luka Doncic trade and the situation in Dallas has only gotten significantly worse since then, with so many players getting hurt the team is close to having to forfeit a game. With the outlook this dire there's a case to be made that both the team and AD would be better off not returning this season and beginning to prepare for next year.
But Davis was assigned to the Mavericks' G-League affiliate this week to ramp up his injury recovery and a return this season, with 12 games remaining on the schedule entering Thursday, seems very likely.
