The Dallas Mavericks assigned Anthony Davis to their G League, as he continues recovering from an injury.

Here are more details.
Anthony Davis assigned to NBA G League amid injury
The Dallas Mavericks temporarily assigned Anthony Davis to their G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, as part of his rehabilitation process. This move allowed him to participate in a full practice session before being recalled later that same day.
Anthony Davis, who was acquired in a major trade from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Luka Doncic, has been sidelined since February 8 due to a left adductor injury. He has played just one game for Dallas, delivering an impressive performance before suffering the injury. As the Mavericks fight to secure a play-in tournament spot in the Western Conference, Davis is pushing for a return before the regular season concludes. There have been concerns about whether Davis should return this season, with reports suggesting discussions about shutting him down to prevent further injury. However, Davis has reportedly pushed to make a comeback before the season ends.
The Mavericks have faced injury struggles throughout the season, with multiple key players sidelined. In a recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers, they were forced to play with just eight available players, which is the league’s minimum. Kyrie Irving remains out with a torn ACL, while Dereck Lively II is recovering from an ankle stress fracture.
Along with Davis, guard Jaden Hardy, who missed several games due to an ankle injury, was also sent to the G League for practice. As the Mavericks deal with ongoing injury challenges, fans hope for quick recovery of its players.
