The Dallas Mavericks turned the NBA world upside down when they traded their franchise centerpiece, Luka Doncic, to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for veteran center Anthony Davis.
In his Mavericks debut on Feb. 8, Davis suffered a non-contact left adductor strain. He's been sidelined for each of Dallas' games since this injury.
On Thursday, the Mavericks announced a significant update on Davis' injury progress.
"The Dallas Mavericks today announced that Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis, who suffered a left adductor strain on Feb. 8 against Houston, is making good progress," Mavericks PR wrote on X.
"Davis will be re-evaluated in two weeks with further updates to follow, as necessary."

Davis will be re-evaluated in two weeks with further updates to follow, as necessary.
Fans flooded the comment section with a variety of reactions to this news.
"Very good news at this point, thought he could miss the rest of the regular season. Coming back even mid March would be a win," one fan wrote.
"Yall need to chill. Let him heal. Hold your L for the dumb and most hateful trade in NBA history," another said.
"This is the best news we could’ve possibly gotten under our circumstances so far. AD back mid March will save our lives," another added.
"I don't trust anything you guys say," another wrote.
