Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis finally returned to action against the Brooklyn Nets after six weeks of rest.
Davis has been out since he injured his left groin in a game on February 8. This game was also Davis' first appearance after being sent to the Dallas Mavericks before the trade deadline.
However, the trade involved Luka Doncic going to the Los Angeles Lakers, and Davis was not initially recognized by the Dallas Mavericks fans. Most fans were angry that the team gave up Doncic, and Davis' injury made it difficult for the team to achieve a better record.
As the champion of the Western Conference last season, the Dallas Mavericks have not had a good record this season. Currently, the Dallas Mavericks are on the verge of qualifying for the play-in tournament, competing with the Phoenix Suns for the 10th place in the Western Conference. In this case, Davis' return is crucial to the team.
In fact, Davis had already suffered some injury problems before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks. However, in Davis' first game for the Dallas Mavericks, Davis delivered 26 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the team beat the Houston Rockets 116-105.
Although Davis suffered another injury, he is still the most reliable core player of the Dallas Mavericks. In the latest game against the Brooklyn Nets, Davis returned and contributed 12 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds to help the team win 120-101.
The Dallas Mavericks have 11 games left in the regular season, 7 of which are away games. Now is the critical stage for the team to strive for the qualification for the play-in round. Davis' return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the team. Davis' health will directly determine whether the Dallas Mavericks can remain competitive in the next schedule.
