Anthony Davis will not require surgery on his injured left hand after all, the Dallas Mavericks announced Tuesday evening after the star big man met with his own physician.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

It was the latest twist in a story that saw multiple developments during the day — from reports that Davis would likely be sidelined after undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his hand, to Davis himself disputing the reports in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“Lies! But yall keep listening to them,” Davis wrote in one post.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Instead, Dallas said Davis underwent a medical evaluation on his hand and it was determined the injury will heal in approximately six weeks without surgery.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

An ESPN report noted that the Mavericks were still discussing trade possibilities for Davis, given that the 10-time All-Star could return later this season for a contender.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Davis has played in just 29 games for the Mavericks — nine last season and 20 this season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

He is averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots this season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
