In his debut with the Mavericks, Anthony Davis suffered a lower-body injury and did not return to the game against the Houston Rockets. The trade that brought Davis to Dallas and sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers has raised eyebrows among fans, with many questioning the decision. Davis scored 26 points and collected 16 rebounds in the match before leaving in the third quarter due to tightness in his groin and quadriceps. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd stated they’d monitor Davis’ condition, while the hit from the controversial trade still lingers among Dallas supporters.
