Anthony Davis looked great during his first game with the Dallas Mavericks…until he didn’t.
Davis left the court with a groin injury after scoring an eye-popping 26 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists during 31 minutes.
On Tuesday morning, Brian Windhorst stopped by “Get Up” to give an update on Davis and the Mavericks, and it wasn’t great.
He confirmed that Davis is set to miss multiple weeks with a left adductor strain.
This couldn’t come at a worse time because the Mavericks have already lost multiple big men with injuries, and they need them now more than ever.

Dereck Lively II has an injured ankle, Daniel Gafford hurt his knee on Monday evening, and Dwight Powell has a hip problem.
To make matters even worse, Maxi Kleber could have helped, but he was sent to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Luka Doncic trade.
Although some critics poke fun at him, Davis has actually been really healthy over the last few seasons.
He played a career-high 76 games last season and has only missed a few games here and there.
However, it looks like his entry to the Mavericks will be complicated because of this.
This will only make Dallas fans more upset.
They were already extremely upset at the loss of Doncic, but now they will grow furious that they can’t have Davis for an extended period of time too.
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd will have to figure out something because the hole in the frontcourt is now massive.
Davis’ injury marks just another headache for the Mavs and their fans.
