Anthony Davis Status Revealed vs. Knicks

In this story:
The New York Knicks are facing the Dallas Mavericks at Madison Square Garden, and they may have been granted a reprieve.
Mavericks All-Star big man Anthony Davis made his return to the lineup after over a month-long absence with an adductor strain against the Brooklyn Nets, but Dallas is choosing to rest him against New York.
The Mavs beat the Nets last night in Brooklyn, and are choosing to give Davis some rest tonight on the second half of a back-to-back.
Davis joins a long list of Mavs out with injuries. He's on the injury report alongside P.J. Washington Jr. (left ankle sprain), Caleb Martin (right hip strain), Kyrie Irving (left knee sprain, ACL tear), Dante Exum (left hand fracture), Daniel Gafford (right knee sprain), Dereck Lively II (right ankle stress fracture) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (right wrist sprain).
The Knicks are a little bit healthier, but they are still banged up. Jalen Brunson remains out with an ankle sprain while Miles McBride is also missing the contest with an ailing groin. Mitchell Robinson is also out for injury management as the Knicks play the Los Angeles Clippers tomorrow.
Tipoff between the Mavericks and Knicks is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
