Jason Kidd didn't do himself, or the Dallas Mavericks, any favors when he didn't speak to reporters after a tough overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday. The franchise continues to battle public outcry following the mega-trade where they sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for a package highlighted by Anthony Davis.
After a strong start to his Mavericks debut, Davis suffered an adductor strain and is expected to miss up to a month. Another Dallas big man, Daniel Gafford, went down with a sprained knee Monday against the Kings. He will miss a few weeks. Dereck Lively II and Dwight Powell are out as well, leaving the Mavericks extremely thin at the center position, to the point where nobody wants to play the five for Dallas because it might be a bad omen.
