Is Anthony Davis playing tonight against Sacramento Kings? Latest on Mavericks superstar's availability for NBA Play-In Tournament (April 16)

Anthony Davis is listed as probable for a crucial NBA play-in tournament game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Davis is suffering from an adductor injury, but the probable status implies he should play, barring any unforeseen mishap in the lead-up to the game.

The left adductor strain initially occurred during his debut for the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 8. He was having a great game with 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks before going down with a non-contact injury.

Davis missed the next 17 games, and there were talks of shutting him down for the rest of the season as Kyrie Irving went down with an ACL injury during that span. The Mavs superstar, however, made a return to the lineup on March 24 against the Brooklyn Nets.

Anthony Davis has played eight games since his return and will be crucial to Dallas’ chances of beating Sacramento on the road. The winner of the game then plays the Memphis Grizzlies for the eighth seed in the West. Memphis lost 121-116 to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

While Davis should play, the Mavericks continue to be without Kyrie Irving (ACL tear) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper (right wrist). Brandon Williams is questionable with an oblique injury.
