Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis went down with a left lower leg injury on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers, and despite the initial scare that Mavs fans had, Jason Kidd provided a positive update after the game during media availability. Kidd said that Davis tried to return to the game, which is definitely great news when considering his long-term availability with this left leg injury, but the truth of the matter is that Kidd's statement following the game may not be true.
The reasoning that Kidd said Davis didn't return was that they didn't want to risk anything.
