Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Guy has always been the picture of health. Who would've seen this coming?

Dallas Mavericks' Anthony Davis is likely to undergo surgery to repair ligament damage in his left hand and miss several months, sources tell ESPN. His Dallas season is essentially over, given the prognosis and the Mavs' direction.

Fascinating development: The Mavericks are having renewed Davis trade talks with multiple interested teams, sources said. If moved to a playoff contender, the return timeline could allow Davis to return during the postseason while establishing himself for the long-term elsewhere.
Does that end Dallas' playoff hopes?
Lively already out for the season. AD down now. Gafford is their only quality big man left. Dwight Powell as 3rd string will step up as their new backup center.
Still no Kyrie Irving. They were talking about him returning for Thanksgiving around the start of the season. Then they had that bad start. Is he not ready or are they deliberately holding him out so they can get a better draft pick?
Dallas have 15 wins 25 losses. Memphis in 10th place for the final play-in spot with 17 wins 22 losses. So Dallas are on the outside looking in but not out by much. A return to action from Kyrie could spur a run to the play-in spot. Even without AD or Lively.
