Take a qualification in final phases to try something? Or “let go” a dark season? In Dallas, we rather lean towards the first scenario because Anthony Davis is getting closer to a return.
Mavs have it briefly sent Training – to make five against five – with the Texas Legends, in the company of Jaden Hardy, to participate in his recovery. According to ESPNit was a question internally not to revive the interior by the end of the season, but the superstar would have remained firm in its determination to return.
Main currency of exchange as part of the transfer of Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis has not trained an NBA parquet since his first appearance with the MAVS on February 8. In 31 minutes that evening facing the Rockets, he had accumulated 26 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 counters before leaving injury, hit the adductors.
Since then, MAVs have experienced a long crossing of the desert, marked by a number of injuries suffered, including that of Kyrie Irving. Jason Kidd has only disposed of the minimum of eight players active several times lately, especially during the home defeat against the Sixers on Sunday.
The “Two-Way Players” are close to their limit
The “Twoway Players”, Kessler Edwards and Brandon Williams, approaching their limit of NBA matches played over a season, the MAVs will lose two important contributors from the last weeks of competition. We recall that the Texans have a free place in their workforce, but they are too close to the “first apron” to sign even a player for ten days …
But their infirmary is likely to empty themselves gradually. In addition to Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, on the sidelines due to an ankle sprain, and Kai Jones, touched at the quadriceps, are in the running to travel to Indiana on Wednesday.
Still in the positive in mid-February, Dallas collapsed in recent weeks with only two victories out of the last twelve outings. Only, despite their negative assessment (33V-36D), the MAVs cling to 10th place, being under the threat of the Suns (32V-37D), and possibly Blazers (30V-39D).
