Mavs to shut down Anthony Davis for the rest of the season?
Shams Charania: The relationship between Luka Dončić and the Mavericks’ organization had deteriorated. In many ways, Kyrie was the bridge between them. The front office even leaned on Kyrie for communication with Luka. So, now that relationship is strained, they trade Luka, and yeah—Anthony Davis has been out since his first game with the Lakers. I think he and his representatives are going to huddle up. They’ll have some tough conversations. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the one game we saw was the last we see of Anthony Davis this season.Source: YouTube

“I’m told [Kyrie] was very emotional. We saw Kyrie Irving on a mission this season.”

Dallas believed it had a 3-4 year window to win with the Kyrie/AD combo. This year is done and with a 9-12 month recovery time for ACL injuries — plus however long it takes a player to get a rhythm back — next year could be lost, too. Just a brutal break for the Mavericks. – 1:15 PM

The Mavs might be screwed this year. My idea for them: Trade Anthony Davis and a future first for Lakers guard Luka Doncic. Include Max Christie if that’s what it takes. Would really get their franchise back on track. – 12:14 PM

Kyrie Irving makes his two free throws with 2:35 left in the first quarter, then exits the court. Anthony Davis is one of the players helping him off. – 9:05 PM

If the Lakers beat the Clippers, they’ll be the No. 2 seed in the West.
– The last time the Lakers were the No. 2 seed in the West was March 19, 2021 before LeBron & AD got hurt.
– The last time the Lakers were a top two seed after 41 games was 2020 when they won the NBA title. – 4:42 PM
More on this storyline
The Lakers and Mavericks are likely to have follow-up moves before this transaction can truly be assessed. The Lakers already attempted one — the rescinded trade for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams — and will surely look at more moves this summer to bolster the Doncic fit. As for the Mavs, Harrison may be the target of plenty of criticism, but he has a devoted group of supporters that insist people should wait until Davis starts playing regularly and see how Harrison improves the roster this summer before passing final judgement. -via ESPN.com / February 28, 2025
“Everybody’s saying nobody knew and all this other s—. I just don’t believe it. But, hey man, I’m past that. I’m ready to move forward with Dallas, try to get a championship there with these guys. First off, getting back on the floor and get ready to compete. All the emotions, that s— lasted that night when it was just a shock.” -via Los Angeles Times / February 27, 2025
“They wanted who they wanted. They did what they had to do,” Davis said. “I don’t know if they had to, but it’s what they wanted to do. I moved on. I got a wife and kids to worry about, you know what I’m saying? And I’m figuring out how I’m going to get them to Dallas and get adjusted to that. “It’s over with, and I’m moving on with my new team and what we got going on.” -via Los Angeles Times / February 27, 2025
