A third added: ‘”Detached retina” is absurd lol glad he’ll be healthy for camp though.’
The injury comes after an eventful 2025 for Davis, who was traded to Dallas by the Los Angeles Lakers during the season.
Davis made up part of the blockbuster trade that saw Luka Doncic team up with LeBron James in LA.
Having drafted Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, Dallas will be hoping Davis and Kyrie Irving can combine with the rookie to make them serious contenders.
