Anthony Davis Expected To Make Mavs Debut Saturday
41 seconds agoDallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (abdomen) is probable for Saturday's game against the Rockets. Davis was sent to Dallas in exchange for Luka Doncic in what some consider to be the biggest trade in NBA history. As such, AD will now suit up for the third team of his career after averaging 24.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in 778 regular-season games. There's a chance he plays less than the 34 minutes he has averaged throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, Davis should be ready to roll and focused on making a positive impression in his first game in a Dallas uniform. He'll be playing the four, which could allow him to shoot more from behind the three-point line. But it may come at the expense of easy attempts close to the rim, potentially lowering his field goal percentage. With Davis back on the floor, P.J. Washington (personal), who is off the injury report, will slide over to the three spot, with Dante Exum and Kessler Edwards heading back to the bench after combining for 18 points as members of the starting lineup in Thursday's win over the Celtics.
