The Dallas Mavericks have won four out of their last five games, and it comes as no coincidence that Anthony Davis has played in all of them. The 10-time All-Star missed significant time earlier in the season due to a calf injury, but he has made up for lost time since his return.

I want to be out there on the floor as much as I can. But at the same time, you have to listen to your body,” Gafford said.

Anthony Davis scored 20 of his 24 points in the second half to go with 14 rebounds and three blocks, and Cooper Flagg had 22 points and eight assists as the Dallas Mavericks rallied to beat the Brooklyn Nets 119-111.

The Dallas Mavericks are already eyeing Matt Ricccardi to be Nico Harrison's successor as the team's next general manager.

One of the NBA’s most dominant storylines is the influx of injuries, specifically calf strains to star players, such as Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum.

The Dallas Mavericks (9-16) host the Brooklyn Nets (6-17) following a long break due to the NBA Cup. Neither team made it out of group play, so they got to rest and then play one another… which isn’t the worst outcome! Dallas last beat the Houston Rockets while the Nets beat the New Orleans Pelicans the last time they saw the floor.

Despite fans pushing for Anthony Davis to be traded, the Dallas Mavericks want to compete this season and could wait to trade Davis until the offseason.
