The basketball script writer has delivered a cruel hand to Anthony Davis and The Mavericks.
Davis has long been challenged by his frequent injury form with the Lakers in the NBA, but he played 76 games last season (his best ever) and played 42 games this season and has played Purple and Gold medal competition and then traded.
The ads won his first game against the Rockets on Saturday and absolutely caught fire before it fell.
He seems to be well suited in Dallas since he yelled “I’m here,” and seems to be hyping up his debut.
The big man scored 26 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, then fell under a contactless injury with 1:37 left in the third quarter.

Davis was then left out for the rest of the game, and the team ruled him out of Monday’s game against the Kings.
Since then, Marc Stein has reported concerns that Davis may be quarantined indefinitely due to inclusion liability.
Shams Charania later reported that the center is expected to miss multiple weeks and that its absence “could be an extension of one month.”
After the game, (before these reports) the ad itself doesn’t seem to care too much about hurt.
“Just just tight legs, like spasms,” Davis said. “Just come back and try to relax it, everything. Obviously, it’s still going to deal with the AB strain, so it’s just trying to loosen it. It won’t really relax and let go,” he said. , but that’s not serious. I’m fine.”
Since he will miss several weeks, Davis will now need to replace in the All-Star game this weekend.
The league will need to fill two alternative points, as Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has also been excluded due to calf pressure in the past 12 hours.
