Dallas Mavericks’ center and rumored Atlanta Hawks trade target Anthony Davis “sustained ligament damage in his left hand” and “could miss a number of months,” according to Shams Charania.
There have been murmurs linking Davis to the Hawks all season, but these whispers turned to credible reports after the Trae Young trade. The drama intensified when Atlanta waited over 24 hours between announcing the trade and formally executing it, sparking speculation that they had solicited offers for the newly acquired CJ McCollum or Corey Kispert.
With Davis set to miss extended time, and potentially the rest of the season, a blockbuster trade is no longer a realistic option.
