Things have not been going very well for the Dallas Mavericks since the organization decided to deal Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in return for Anthony Davis. Mavs fans were understandably frustrated by general manager Nico Harrison sending a generational player—perhaps an all-time great—out of town during his prime years. Davis getting hurt in his first game with the franchise made things immediately worse.
Currently holding on tight to the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference, Dallas lost Kyrie Irving to a season-ending injury on Monday night, which will make any path to the play-In tournament that much harder.
