LOS ANGELES.- After its sound transfer by Luka DoncicAnthony Davis signed on Saturday 26 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in a dominant premiere with the Dallas Mavericks which ended abruptly due to a new injury.
The intense day of the Saturday of the NBA also saw the debut of other figures that changed equipment in the signing market that closed on Thursday, mainly that of Jimmy Butler, who achieved 25 points in a triumph of his Golden State Warriors.
In Dallas, the Mavericks defeated 116-105 to the Houston Rockets in a duel monopolized by the presence of Davis, who returned to the tracks after the abdominal problem that suffered days ago still with the uniform of the uniform of the Los Angeles Lakers.
His explosive debut ended early since, towards the end of the third quarter, he retired to changing rooms for a new physical problem in the groin area, which can rekindle the outrage of Dallas fans for the sale of Doncic.
“The leg became tense, it was like a small spasm and obviously I am still dealing with the abdominal sprain,” Davis said later, who tried to reduce importance to the accident.
“It’s nothing serious. I’m fine,” said the pivot, who has suffered numerous injuries in recent years.
Before the start of the Texan derby, a group of enraged followers congregated outside the American Airlines Center, in Dallas, with posters that claimed the dismissal of the general manager Nico Harrison, a great architect of the operation.
The NBA is still impacted by the decision of the Mavericks to exchange Doncic, the 25 -year -old superstar that took them to the finals of the last campaign, by Davis, who is still one of the best pivots in the league, but already faces the Final stretch of his career at 31.
Reception with applause
Despite the disappointment for the march of his idol, Dallas’s stands received Davis with a huge ovation and the pivot, determined to claim, starred in a fierce start of the game against the Rockets.
At rest, Davis accumulated 24 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 plugs, figures that he had never achieved in a first half in his 13 years of career.
The fun in the stands became concern when Davis went to the ground in a defensive action without contact and left the costumes.
