Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Out at least one week

Davis (calf) will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days, the Mavericks announced Sunday.

Davis will miss his ninth game in a row Sunday against Portland, and he will sit out at least four more games. The earliest possible return date is Nov. 24 against the Heat, though that seems a bit unlikely given how cautious the team is being. Davis is reportedly making good progress, but the Mavericks will have to carry on without their franchise big man. P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall and Max Christie should continue to handle increased usage until Davis is cleared to return.
