Mavericks forward Anthony Davis has now missed eight straight games due to his left calf strain, which does not seem to be getting any better. NBA insider Marc Stein reported that it's entirely up to the medical team led by Johann Bilsborough and his reporting to team governor Patrick Dumont about whether or not he's ready to return.

The tension building between Anthony Davis and the Lakers last season was so bad that they looked to move him weeks before the Luka Doncic deal.
