Anthony Davis Injured in Dallas Mavericks Debut Against Houston Rockets
Anthony Davis, the newly acquired star for the Dallas Mavericks, suffered a non-contact injury during his debut game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday. The injury occurred in the third quarter as Davis appeared to experience discomfort in his groin/quad area while defending against Rockets center Alperen Şengün. He fell to his knees and was later listed as doubtful to return due to a lower-body injury. Despite the setback, Davis reassured reporters after the game that the injury was “nothing serious,” describing it as a “little spasm” related to a previous abdominal issue.
Before exiting the game, Davis had an impressive performance, recording a team-high 26 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists in 31 minutes. His contributions helped the Mavericks secure a 116-105 victory in their first home game since the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers. Davis’ debut was met with enthusiasm from the home crowd, though concerns about his injury history—he has missed significant time in recent seasons—linger.
The Mavericks are expected to provide further updates on Davis’ condition, with the All-Star break approaching. The team may opt to rest him as a precautionary measure. Meanwhile, the trade that brought Davis to Dallas continues to draw mixed reactions from fans, many of whom remain attached to Dončić. The Mavericks’ front office faces pressure to ensure the trade pays off quickly, especially with Davis’ health being a critical factor in their success.
