SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis suffered a groin injury in the second quarter against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.
The Mavericks said Davis would not return to the game because of groin spasms.
Davis exited the Christmas Day matinee at the 8:50 mark of the second quarter after he pulled up trying to run. He went to the bench to be worked on by the medical staff, holding his groin area.
He had three points, three rebounds and two blocked shots in just fewer than 11 minutes of action before the injury.
The big man already missed 16 games with a left calf injury and management of it.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs placed top return man Nikko Remigio on injured reserve before their game against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night, their third wide receiver to land on the IR list in a matter of two days.
Remigio was a full participant in practice Monday but had not practiced the past two days because of a knee injury. He joins the IR list alongside Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton, who were put there Wednesday because they were still in the concussion protocol.
The Chiefs, who already are eliminated from playoff contention, also put top cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson on injured reserve this week. McDuffie has been dealing with a knee injury and Watson with a groin problem.
In a flurry of moves, the Chiefs signed linebacker Cole Christiansen, cornerback Melvin Smith and defensive ends Ethan Downs and Tyreke Smith to the active roster. Defensive back Nazeeh Johnson was activated from the IR, and wide receiver Jason Brownlee and offensive lineman Matt Waletzko were promoted from the practice squad.
