Anthony Davis to Wear Protective Goggles for Rest of Career After Retina Surgery

Doctors mandated the switch following his July procedure, underscoring Dallas' health-first approach entering camp.

Overview

  • The All-Star big man has been cleared for training camp after returning to five-on-five work, with preseason minutes still to be determined.
  • Davis said his vision is clear with no restrictions, though his right eye remains red due to prescribed postoperative drops.
  • The detached retina in his right eye was repaired on July 8 after repeated blows to the face during the 2024-25 season.
  • Head coach Jason Kidd cautioned that labeling Kyrie Irving “ahead of schedule” in ACL rehab is “not fair,” and the team has not set a return date.
  • Dallas opens camp this week and expects Davis available for the regular season barring setbacks, with Dereck Lively II also cleared following foot surgery.
