Anthony Davis could make his comeback for the Dallas Mavericks during the NBA Cup game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. There was a major upgrade in Davis' status when the franchise announced its injury report after Thursday's practice. Davis, who missed the previous three games, was listed as "doubtful" with a left calf strain.

The Mavericks lost all three games in their superstar's absence. After Wednesday's defeat against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, Dallas fell to the bottom of the Western Conference standings with a 2-6 record. Injuries have adversely affected the Mavericks, with Davis being limited and unavailable, compounding the team's misery.

Anthony Davis has been injury-prone right through his career, and in his brief career in Dallas, the perennial All-Star has continued to battle with injuries. The Mavericks have played 43 games (including the play-in tournament last season) since trading for Davis. Only five times have Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford been healthy and on the court together.

While Anthony Davis is closer to returning from his injury, Lively II remains sidelined. The young center is ruled out of the Grizzlies' game due to a right knee sprain. The 7-foot-1 former Duke star will miss his sixth consecutive game on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks continue to be without Kyrie Irving and Dante Exum. Irving is recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee, while Exum remains sidelined with a right knee injury.
