Shams Charania reveals the latest on Anthony Davis’ condition and the possibility of him being traded by the Dallas Mavs before the February 5th Trade Deadline.

If he lands in a contender, the 10-time All Star could return to the field during the Playoffs, to show his value in the hope of signing a new multi-year agreement.
Since his arrival in Dallas, Davis has played in 29 regular season games plus two Play-In games.
