The Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings have released their injury reports ahead of Wednesday’s high-stakes NBA Play-In Tournament game. With the Mavericks fighting to extend their season, all eyes are on Anthony Davis, who is listed as probable despite a left adductor strain.

The Mavericks enter this must-win game with a mostly healthy roster, though a few key names are sidelined. Kyrie Irving remains out with a left ACL tear suffered against the Kings in March, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper is recovering from right wrist surgery. Brandon Williams, recently signed to a standard contract, is questionable with an oblique strain.

Sacramento will be without Jake LaRavia (left thumb fracture) and Malik Monk (left calf strain). Monk’s absence is a significant blow, though he could return if the Kings advance.

Dallas has struggled against Sacramento this season, losing all three matchups. Injuries played a role in those losses, with both Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis getting hurt in the last two meetings.

Despite the setbacks, the Mavericks have reinforcements. Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, and P.J. Washington are all available after dealing with injuries late in the season. However, two-way players like Kai Jones and Kessler Edwards are ineligible for the postseason.

The game tips off at 9 p.m. CST from the Golden 1 Center, with ESPN broadcasting the action. The Mavericks will need Anthony Davis at full strength to counter Sacramento’s physical play. His presence in the paint could be the difference-maker in a game where Dallas must break its losing streak against the Kings.

Sacramento, meanwhile, will rely on its depth to compensate for Monk’s absence. The Kings’ ability to exploit Dallas’ defensive weaknesses could determine whether they advance or face elimination.
