Davis has been officially ruled out of Dallas’ Saturday night matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers due to injury management.
The fact that Davis isn’t playing isn’t a huge surprise, as it has become commonplace in the NBA to rest a player fresh off of an injury on the second night of a back-to-back. That’s exactly what’s happening here. The Mavericks don't want Davis to play too much, too quickly immediately upon his return.
