The all-star forward underwent a procedure to repair a detached retina that he suffered last season, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Tuesday.
Davis is expected to be fully healthy in time for training camp.
The 32-year-old forward averaged 20 points per game in nine contests with the Mavericks last season after a stunning mid-season trade from the Los Angeles Lakers that sent Luka Doncic the other way.
Davis, the first-overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, put up 24.1 points and 10.7 rebounds per game over his career with the New Orleans Pelicans, Lakers and Mavericks.
He will likely pair with 2025 No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg in what could prove to be a dynamic Dallas frontcourt.
