Mavericks' Ed Davis Avoids Surgery, Sidelined Six Weeks

Mavericks player Ed Davis (finger) will not require surgery, a second opinion revealed, and he'll be re-evaluated in six weeks. Early indications suggested a multi-month absence with surgery, but Davis will now rehab without a procedure. He is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks, likely returning by early March. Daniel Gafford, Dwight Powell, and Moussa Cisse will handle center duties during his absence.
