Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis returned to the lineup on Monday night, as he played for the first time in 18 games and for just the second time in a Dallas uniform in the 120-101 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
Davis, who reaggravated an adductor injury in his Mavericks debut in early February, scored 12 points on 6-for-9 shooting in 27 minutes. But this time around, Davis took the floor without star point guard Kyrie Irving, who tore his ACL in early March. Davis spoke of the impact of the injury and lauded Irving for his outlook in his rehab process.
