NBA injury update: Dallas Mavericks' Anthony Davis set to miss a few games after leaving Christmas Day matchup against Golden State Warriors midway

Halfway through the second quarter of the Dallas Mavericks vs Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, Mavs star Anthony Davis suffered from right groin spasms. He was seen walking out of the court and toward the bench, and then directly to the locker room, leaving his team in a tight spot. He was holding his groin, and looked to be limping slightly, and is not expected to miss a handful of the upcoming games.

He was seen stretching while on the bench, before his team decided to relieve him of his duties for the remainder of the game. This led to the announcement that he would be missing the rest of the game during the second half, and now, ESPN has reported that he would be missing a few more games to recuperate, as the team doesn't want to take any chances with him.
