Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis is likely to miss “a few games” with a minor groin strain, ESPN reported Friday.
Davis departed with the injury in the second period of Thursday’s 126-116 loss at Golden State and did not return.
Davis, 32, is reportedly being targeted by several teams ahead of the NBA’s Feb. 5 trade deadline.
The 10-time All-Star has played in just 16 of 32 games this season, averaging 20.5 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 blocks. He has also missed time with Achilles, leg and calf injuries.
On Thursday, Davis removed himself from the nationally televised contest shortly after deflecting a Stephen Curry pass with about nine minutes remaining in the first half.
Dallas trailed 40-36 at the time. Davis, who was credited with a steal on the play, finished with three points, three rebounds, two blocks and the one steal.
Davis joined the Mavericks in the blockbuster deal last February that sent superstar guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.
