Anthony Davis might not suit up for the remainder of the season for Dallas, let alone Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. There is a spark of hope for the 32-year-old, however.

Less than a week ago, the Mavericks said in a statement that Davis is "improving daily" and has been cleared for "more dynamic on-court movements," paving the way for a return, should he opt for one.

Still, it won't make much difference for the immediate future.

Davis, along with a slew of other Mavericks, are listed as out on the team's most recent availability report. The full list is as follows:

  • Anthony Davis - OUT (Left Adductor; Strain)
  • Daniel Gafford - OUT (Right Knee; Sprain)
  • Jaden Hardy - OUT (Right Ankle; Sprain)
  • Kyrie Irving - OUT (Left Knee; Sprain/ACL tear)
  • Kai Jones - OUT (Left Quad; Strain)
  • Dereck Lively II - OUT (Right Ankle; Stress Fracture)
  • Olivier-Maxence Prosper - OUT (Right Wrist; Sprain)
  • P.J. Washington - QUESTIONABLE (Right Ankle; Sprain)
  • Brandon Williams - QUESTIONABLE (Left Hamstring; Tightness)
  • Dante Exum - QUESTIONABLE (Right Hamstring; Tightness)

Davis will miss his 14th straight game since suffering an adductor strain in his Dallas debut, but while his recovery timeline remains in the air, the Mavericks did find a sliver of success in San Antonio on Monday, snapping their five-game losing skid.

Another win would help their case at remaining in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Given the Spurs' depleted state without Victor Wembanyama, such an outcome isn't outlandish, either. Even without Davis.

Tipoff from Frost Bank Center is set for 8 p.m. EST.
