re: Anthony Davis has Grade 1 Abductor Strain

Davis' injury is a Grade 1 adductor strain, an injury that causes soreness from being over-stretched but which does not necessarily limit muscle function going forward.

He is dealing with a Grade 1 abductor strain, and he'll be re-evaluated during Friday morning's shootaround. "[Davis is] getting treatment," said head coach Monty Williams. "He’s walking around normally and doing some stuff, but nothing to break a sweat. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow.

The hip abductor muscles are responsible for lifting your thigh out to the side. They also stabilize your pelvis when you walk or stand on one leg. The primary hip abductors are the gluteus minimus and medius and the tensor fasciae latae. The sartorius and the piriformis are secondary hip abductors.

This is also known as the medial (adductor) compartment of the thigh. A pulled groin muscle usually refers to a painful injury sustained by straining the hip adductor muscles.[3] These hip adductor muscles that make up the groin consist of the adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus.[4] These groin muscles adduct the thigh (bring the femur and knee closer to the midline).

Rest, avoiding activities that produce pain. It may be necessary to rest grade 1 groin strains from competition or training for up to 3 weeks.

A general guide for safety is 5 days, although if pain allows complete rest may not be necessary. A lower level of activity avoiding any painful movements may be all that is needed.

This is what I expected all along. Just your average Grade 1 abductor strain.
