Anthony Davis cannot catch a break.
The Mavericks center was ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday night's contest vs. the Pacers after he left in the first quarter. Davis was originally questionable to compete on Wednesday night as he was dealing with a bilateral Achilles tendinopathy injury, meaning he was feeling sore in both Achilles.
There's a fear his injury worsened on Wednesday as Davis appeared to land hard on his leg, causing him to head to the sidelines to hold his leg. He even appeared to be touching the area of his Achilles, but the Mavericks ruled him out with left lower leg soreness.

Dallas will likely learn more about the severity of Davis's injury after the game and on Thursday as the franchise evaluates their star forward. The Mavericks face the Pistons on Saturday, giving Davis a few days of rest before the team determines his availability for the next game. The Mavericks definitely don't need any more injury woes this early in the season.
Davis notched four points and four rebounds before exiting early.
