Anthony Davis wasted no time making his mark in Dallas, delivering a dominant first half in the Mavericks’ 116-105 win over the Rockets. He racked up 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks in just 31 minutes. With numbers like that, it was clear why the Mavs trusted him to step up in Luka Doncic’s absence. His connection with Kyrie Irving was already clicking, especially in pick-and-roll plays, making his transition to the team look effortless.
By the time Davis checked out, the Mavs were up 83-75 against the West’s fourth-seeded team. But the excitement took a turn late in the third quarter when he exited with what was initially labeled a “lower body injury.” Reports later pointed to a groin issue, and the team ruled him doubtful to return.
Just days into his Mavs tenure, the injury raised immediate concerns about his durability. Jason Kidd kept things vague, saying, “I guess he’s all right. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow.”
For a debut that started on such a high note, this was a frustrating way for it to end.
