Mavs' Davis 'making good progress' after adductor strain

The Mavericks said in a statement that Davis is "making good progress" in his recovery.

"Davis will be reevaluated in two weeks with further updates to follow, as necessary," the team said.

Davis had been nursing an abdominal strain suffered in a January 28 Lakers game when he was traded to the Mavericks, a deal that left many Dallas fans fuming.

He missed the Mavericks' first three games after the deal, but was dazzling in his Dallas debut on February 8 before he pulled up in pain with less than three minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Davis, a 10-time All-Star, had scored 26 points with 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocked shots before exiting the game -- a 116-105 Mavs victory over the Houston Rockets.

Davis downplayed the injury immediately after the game, but he will miss a minimum of 10 games -- including seven over the next two weeks.

He also was ruled out of Sunday's All-Star Game in San Francisco.

The Mavericks, currently eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 30-26, are also without big men Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II. Gafford has a knee sprain and Lively has a stress fracture in one ankle.
