It’s not clear when Doncic or Davis could play for their new clubs; both are dealing with injuries without any publicly known firm timetable for their returns.

Davis, an All-Star pick this year for the 10th time in his career, turns 32 next month. He’s part of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team, helped the Lakers win the NBA title in the bubble in 2020, and — like Doncic — is a five-time All-NBA selection.

Doncic is averaging 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists this season. Davis is averaging 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds.

Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

The Mavericks roster has undergone a major shakeup following the blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to Dallas in exchange for Luka Dončić. With Davis now joining forces with Kristaps Porzingis in the frontcourt, the Mavericks have formed a formidable duo that is sure to strike fear in the hearts of their opponents.

Here is a look at the updated Mavericks roster post-trade:

Starting lineup:
– Point guard: Jalen Brunson
– Shooting guard: Tim Hardaway Jr.
– Small forward: Anthony Davis
– Power forward: Kristaps Porzingis
– Center: Dwight Powell

Bench:
– Delon Wright
– Justin Jackson
– Maxi Kleber
– Boban Marjanovic
– Seth Curry

With Davis and Porzingis anchoring the frontcourt, the Mavericks have a dominant inside presence that will be tough for any team to match up against. Add in sharpshooters like Hardaway Jr. and Curry, as well as the playmaking abilities of Brunson and Wright, and the Mavericks have a well-rounded roster that is poised for success in the upcoming season.

Fans are already buzzing with excitement over the potential of this new-look Mavericks team, and with Davis and Porzingis leading the charge, the sky’s the limit for this squad. Stay tuned for what is sure to be an exciting season ahead for the Dallas Mavericks. #MavsNation #AnthonyDavis #LukaDončićTrade
