Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis had surgery to repair a detached retina, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.

The injury was suffered by Davis during the season after playing through multiple hits to the face. He's expected to be fully healthy for the start of training camp.

It's certainly been an eventful last six months for Davis. He was traded to the Mavericks from the Los Angeles Lakers unexpectedly in a deal that sent Luka Doncic to Los Angeles, he played through multiple soft tissue injuries, and now has undergone offseason surgery for his retina.

Davis is certainly hoping for a more stable 2025-26 season. In 51 games last season split between the Lakers and Mavericks, Davis averaged 24.7 points and 11.6 rebounds on 51.6% shooting.
