Anthony Davis has taken to social media to push back against online speculation about his injury status. The Dallas Mavericks star directly addressed the growing rumors in a recent post.
Davis Responds to ESPN Report
ESPN reported earlier today that Anthony Davis is dealing with ligament damage in his left hand. The report suggested surgery might be necessary, potentially ending his season. Sources indicated recovery could take several months if Davis undergoes the procedure.
The Mavericks have not confirmed any surgery plans. Medical evaluations reportedly point toward surgery as the most likely outcome. The team has not issued any official statement about the situation.
Social Media Pushback
Shortly after the ESPN report circulated, Davis posted a message on X. He wrote, "Yall better stop listening to all these lies on these apps!" The tweet was brief but clear in its disapproval of how his injury is being portrayed online.
Davis did not specify which details he considered inaccurate. He did not deny being injured outright. The post also did not address the possibility of surgery directly. Davis provided no alternative update about his health status.
Uncertainty Remains
The timing of Davis' tweet suggests it was a direct response to the growing speculation. His reaction adds another layer of ambiguity to an already unclear situation. The underlying facts about his injury diagnosis remain unchanged.
There is no indication that the ligament damage diagnosis itself is inaccurate. Davis appears to disagree with how definitively the situation is being described. Both perspectives currently coexist without official clarification.
Team's Position
The Dallas Mavericks have not confirmed that surgery has been scheduled. Head coach Jason Kidd previously stated there is no set timeline for Davis' return. Medical evaluations are reportedly ongoing within the organization.
Without a formal announcement, key questions remain unanswered. It is unclear whether Davis will opt for surgery. The team's plans for handling his workload without surgery also remain unknown.
All current projections are based on league sources rather than team confirmation. The situation continues to develop as both the player and organization navigate this uncertainty.
