DALLAS -- Anthony Davis could be close to returning to the Dallas Mavericks after a six-week injury absence, with the star forward listed as doubtful against the Brooklyn Nets to start a four-game road trip Monday night.
Davis hasn't played -- and has been listed as out -- since injuring his left groin in his Dallas debut on Feb. 8. That was about a week after the seismic trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles and enraged many Mavericks fans.
The defending Western Conference champion Mavericks are in a tight race with Phoenix for 10th in the West, the final spot in the play-in tournament.
