Jason Kidd Announces Critical Update on Anthony Davis as Mavericks Suffer Major Disrespect From NBA

Anthony Davis’s shocking move to the Dallas Mavericks caused a lot of buzz among Mavs fans. Losing Luka must not have been easy. Even so, the Dallas faithful wait with bated breath to see the first of AD in Dallas colors. Well, head coach Jason Kidd had finally given us an update regarding him ahead of the Mavs’ game against the Boston Celtics.

Not long ago, AD had an incredible performance against the Celtics. He dropped 24 points, 8 rebounds, and three assists as the Lakers thrashed Boston 117-96. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like such a performance is on the cards tonight. Anthony Davis is OUT against the Boston Celtics. However, coach Kidd is optimistic about his chances of playing in Saturday’s game against the Houston Rockets. 

Davis continues to recover from the abdominal injury that he suffered at the end of January. However, Dallas fans seem to be growing increasingly frustrated with the move that saw Luka Doncic join the Lakers. And to cap off the Mavs’ fanbase’s frustration, it was announced that the Mavericks are getting booted off national TV.

Jason Kidd is optimistic about Anthony Davis’ outlook to play on Saturday after being ruled out tonight against the Boston Celtics.

Kidd plans to play Anthony Davis at power forward, with P.J. Washington starting on the wing.

Yes, the Dallas Mavericks’ game on February 21 against the New Orleans Pelicans will no longer be televised on ESPN. The game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets will now take over that game’s slot. Quite a kick in the teeth for Dallas fans as they await AD’s debut.
