The Dallas Mavericks’ past month or so has not been ideal. In the last handful of weeks, they have lost many players, whether through trades or injuries. They have also made some questionable moves and have had the worst of luck lately.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks’ first move, and most prominent in the last few weeks, was trading away their international superstar, Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/a>. The Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison and ownership decided that Don\u010di\u0107 was not the type of player they wanted to move forward with. That led them to trade him to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for superstar Anthony Davis<\/a>.<\/p>\n While trading away the franchise player was not great, they did receive a great player in exchange in Davis. However, the Davis experience did not last long<\/a>. He made his Dallas debut on Feb. 8 against the Houston Rockets and played 31 minutes. Davis recorded 26 points; however, he suffered a left adductor injury, and his return this season is unclear.<\/p>\n The Mavericks said<\/a> Davis is ‘improving daily’ and has been cleared for more on-court work. However, that may not be the best move for Dallas moving forward. The Mavericks are without arguably their best player, Kyrie Irving<\/a>, for the rest of the year and then some after he suffered a torn ACL on March 3 against the Sacramento Kings.<\/p>\n The Mavericks say that Anthony Davis (left adductor strain) is "improving daily" and has been cleared for more on-court work.<\/p>\n More NBA from me: https:\/\/t.co\/IIIlAloJCf<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/znXULP4jDT<\/a><\/p>\n — Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) March 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nMassive Update on Mavs’ Big Men<\/h3>\n
