Anthony Davis’ journey with the Dallas Mavericks has faced challenges following his offseason trade to the team. His first appearance was cut short due to an injury that kept him out for over a month. Since returning, there are concerns about his fitness and performance on the court.
Since his comeback, Davis has participated in four games but has not been able to find his rhythm. He has not surpassed the 20-point mark in any of those outings, and his shooting percentages—both field goal and three-point—have underperformed significantly. Across five games with the Mavericks, he is averaging 16.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game.
The Mavericks are set to face the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. However, Davis’ availability is in question as he is currently listed as probable due to a left adductor strain.
