Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis has undergone surgery to repair a detached retina, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The procedure aims to have Davis fully healed in time for the upcoming training camp.

Details on the Injury and Previous Eye Issues

It remains uncertain when exactly Davis sustained the retinal injury, but reports confirm he endured multiple facial impacts throughout last season. In November, while still with the Los Angeles Lakers, Davis sought ophthalmological care after suffering a left eye poke, which caused swelling and difficulty keeping the eye open. At that time, the injury was classified as a corneal abrasion and did not force him to miss any games.

Recent Season and Performance Overview

After being traded from the Lakers to the Mavericks in the package centered around Luka Doncic in February, Davis appeared in only nine games due to an adductor injury. Despite limited appearances, the 32-year-old posted averages of 20.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.2 blocks per night over roughly 30 minutes, sparking hopes for his impact once fully healthy. The offseason has been viewed as a critical period for Davis to recover and integrate with his new team.
