Dallas Mavericks governor and majority owner Patrick Dumont has inserted himself into the decision-making process of when Anthony Davis returns to the court from his left calf strain, and he is being extra cautious. This is something that Nico Harrison likely wouldn't have ever done, as he is notorious for rushing players back from injuries, and he even wanted Davis to play last weekend.
To put things into perspective, Davis is still out due to this injury that he suffered on October 29, and playing him last weekend would've put him in harm's way.
The Mavericks' medical team said that there was a risk that Davis would tear his Achilles if he came back too soon, and Harrison still urged him to play last Saturday and then on Monday.
