It's been a whirlwind period of reporting when it comes to Anthony Davis' latest injury, but it might have just given the Golden State Warriors an unlikely point of leverage in a potential Michael Porter Jr. trade.
Despite previous suggestions that Davis would require surgery on his hand and potentially miss the rest of the season, ESPN's Shams Charania has now reported that Davis doesn't require surgery and will be re-evaluated in six weeks.

Not only is the injury timeline better than first thought, Charania also reports that the Dallas Mavericks have subsequently renewed trade talks around Davis with multiple interested teams.
