Why Anthony Davis? That question would have swarmed through the minds of Dallas Mavericks fans after the team participated in one of the most shocking NBA trades in history. After all, the Mavs cut ties with star player Luka Doncic to acquire the center. When asked, Mavericks GM Nico Harrison said “We feel that defense wins championships”. That might hold some merit, but the player has to be present first to put up a memorable defense. Judging from a recent update, even the GM may begin realizing the alleged error of his ways.
During the 3rd quarter of his Mavs debut game, Anthony Davis had to leave after sustaining a lower-body injury. He went down without contact, grabbing his groin. After exiting, he was listed as doubtful and didn’t return for the duration of the game. Now, Marc Stein became the first reporter to break the news that Anthony Davis’s injury might cause him to be ‘OUT’ indefinitely! This means that the Mavericks will have to go through the remaining season without their recently acquired center. It means that Nico Harrison engaged in the trade, and sacrificed their star offensive player, for NOTHING! If the GM was unpopular before, then Marc Stein’s update has not done him any more favors.
This is a developing story…
