Anthony Davis speaks with the media during Friday’s practice in Mexico City.
Anthony Davis is out for the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the Detroit Pistons in Mexico City on Saturday (10 ET, Peacock) due to a leg injury. He will be reevaluated after Dallas’ current road trip.
The Dallas Mavericks announced today that Anthony Davis sustained a low grade left calf strain against the Pacers and was held out of the remainder of the game for precautionary reasons.

Davis traveled with the Mavericks to Mexico City and attended practice. The 32-year-old sustained the lower leg injury in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Indiana Pacers.
“A.D. is day to day,” coach Jason Kidd said before practice at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico without getting into specifics.
Davis, a 10-time All-Star, has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. Last season, after been traded from Los Angeles Lakers for Luka Doncic, he got injured and missed 18 games and returned for the final eight games of the season as the Mavericks missed the playoffs.
“It is going to be day to day,” said Davis. “But I feel better that is for sure.”
The Mavericks’ front court was already thin with centers Derek Lively II missing the last two games due to a sprained knee. Daniel Gafford sustained an ankle injury on the first day of training camp and has not suited up this season.
The Mavericks will face the Pistons at Arena Ciudad de Mexico.
