At long last, we have some good news on the NBA’s injury front.
Okay, actually, we have kind-of, sort-of good news. Real good news would include the abolition of injuries altogether. But following this season’s spate of onset absences and serious setbacks from marquee names, we’ll take what we can get—especially as it pertains to a top-10 player like Anthony Davis.
Davis injured his groin during the New Orleans Pelicans’ Friday night loss to the Utah Jazz. It appeared to be a non-contact abrasion upon second glance, so when he didn’t return, the NBA sphere at large was predictably troubled.

Davis proceeded to miss the team’s Sunday night tilt with the Portland Trail Blazers (which the Pelicans won), further driving suspicion something sinister was in store for the injury-prone star. But sources have told ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski nothing of the sort is in play, and that Davis is merely day-to-day:
MRI results negative on New Orleans Pelicans All-Star Anthony Davis’ injured groin, and timetable on his return will be day-to-day for near future, league sources tell ESPN.
