**Mavericks Suffer Major Setback with Anthony Davis Injury After Debut**
Dallas Mavericks fans have been searching for a bright spot after last week’s trade that saw their star player, Luka Doncic, go to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.
For a short while on Saturday night, they found hope as Davis impressed in his first game with the Mavericks, scoring 26 points, grabbing 16 rebounds, dishing out seven assists, and blocking three shots. Unfortunately, that optimism was quickly dashed when Davis sustained an injury and was forced to exit the game.
The situation took a turn for the worse on Sunday when it was revealed that Davis’ injury, initially believed to be minor, was far more serious than first thought.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, “There are concerns that Anthony Davis could be sidelined for an uncertain period… the full extent of his adductor injury, suffered on Saturday, is still under evaluation.” Davis had previously been dealing with an adductor issue while with the Lakers, causing him to miss several games before being traded. Some fans had feared the Mavericks rushed his return to the court, which ultimately led to this setback.
Meanwhile, Luka Doncic is set to make his Lakers debut on Monday night against the Utah Jazz, which is expected to draw a massive audience, possibly making it one of the most-watched games of the season and the decade.
As the coming weeks unfold, Mavericks fans will be hoping for positive news regarding Davis’ recovery, although this injury adds to the frustration for a fanbase already disheartened by the recent developments surrounding their team.
