Dallas Mavericks Assign Anthony Davis to Texas Legends G League for Rehab Assignment
AD was a part of the biggest trade in sports this year. Resulting in him being sent to Dallas and Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Both players have dealt with injuries after joining their new teams. However, Anthony’s was more extensive. Nevertheless, there is some real positive signs and news emerging from the Mavs. Their PR department announces that the Dallas Mavericks have assigned Anthony Davis to the Texas Legends G League for a rehab assignment.
In a very short update, the Dallas Mavericks mentioned some changes going down this week. They state, “The Mavericks have assigned Jaden Hardy and Anthony Davis to the Texas Legends of the NBA G League.” By the way, this is not out of the norm for Dallas. Something like this was also recently done with Caleb Martin before he made his Mavs debut.
Nonetheless, longtime sports insider Marc Stein added more intel after the brief announcement from Dallas was released. Stein reveals,
“Anthony Davis has been progressing toward an in-season return, as noted here last week, with the latest step being this assignment to the NBA G League’s Texas Legends for practice time. Dallas’ looming decision about reactivating Davis [on the horizon].
Anthony Davis is practicing with the Legends today and is very eager to return from his adductor strain before season’s end, league sources tell The Stein Line and DLLS Sports. Whether he actually does return, though, remains TBD amid concern about exposing Davis to re-injury.”
As one can see, there is still some fear in rushing Anthony Davis back to the court. A re-injury situation would just set the progress of the franchise back further. The Mavericks see AD as a real piece and key to their future success. So then, they want to handle Davis carefully.
Nevertheless, the Dallas organization must feel that Davis is progressing well enough to take on an injury rehab assignment. Getting some more movement and practice in to get back into a groove. Basically this is a signal that Anthony is ramping back up for a return.

Interestingly, the Lakers and Mavericks will soon meet up. There is a matchup scheduled for the beginning of April. April 9th to be exact. If Davis can be ready for that will definitely be must watch TV.
Additionally, if we want to also entertain a wild scenario. If the Mavs could get guys back and on a roll; might just sneak into the final playoff spot in the West. An EXTREMELY long shot; but that’s sports. Anything can happen.
