Davis sustained the injury during the regular season.
Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis had offseason surgery to repair a detached retina, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday.
Davis is expected to be ready to return in time for training camp, according to the report.
The surgery appears to the result of an injury Davis sustained to his right eye on April 2. Davis' teammate Daniel Gafford inadvertently elbowed Davis in his eye in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. Davis left the game bleeding and returned with a bandage above his right eye. A cut above his eye required four stitches.
The injury didn't appear to impact Davis' play. Davis scored 34 points and hit the game-winning bucket in the 120-118 win over Atlanta. He missed the following game, but that was due to it being the first night of a back-to-back as Davis had recently returned to a lineup from an adductor strain that sidelined him for 18 games.
