Anthony Davis is set to return to the Dallas Mavericks' lineup on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets after missing 18 games with a left adductor strain, according to NBA insider Shams Charania.

On Monday the Mavericks changed Davis' status from doubtful to questionable before reports confirmed his return to action.

'Mavericks star Anthony Davis -- out since Feb. 8 with adductor strain -- will return tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN,' Charania posted on X.

Davis, 32, was the big return for the Mavericks in the Feb. 1 trade that sent superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Davis was in the midst of a sparkling debut with Dallas against the Houston Rockets on Feb. 8, collecting 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in 31 minutes before leaving late in the third quarter because of the injury.

He has been sidelined since.

Playing in his 13th NBA season, the 10-time All-Star is averaging 25.7 points, 12 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks in 43 games (all starts).

The Mavericks have also been missing star guard Kyrie Irving, who tore his ACL in early March.

Despite the injuries, Dallas is tied with the Phoenix Suns for the 10th seed and final play-in spot in the Western Conference.

The Mavs begin a four-game road trip Monday with the visit to the Nets. After midweek matchups against the New York Knicks and Orlando Magic, they will close out the stretch against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.
