In what is a touch of good fortune for the Mavericks, the franchise has "tangible optimism" that Davis will avoid surgery on the ailment, according to a report from NBA Insider Marc Stein. That's probably the best outcome anyone could hope for after what was a scary scene in American Airlines Center on Saturday.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Mavericks will have a “cautious rehab” for Anthony Davis' recent injury. Charania added that Davis is expected to need rehabilitation on his left adductor strain in the coming weeks.
