The Dallas Mavericks and Anthony Davis have been the talk of the league this whole season. After the Mavs started their season extremely poorly, leading to GM Nico Harrison’s firing, talk of Davis potentially being traded has skyrocketed across the league.
The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 116-110 Saturday night in Dallas. It was a very weird, up-and-down game, with the Lakers jumping on the Mavericks early, Dallas storming back in the third quarter, then the Lakers returning the favor in the fourth.
It was a fun night inside a very frozen American Airlines Center in Dallas. Although the visiting Los Angeles Lakers were able to pull out a 116-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas fans were once again able to welcome one of their own back home.
After a four-game winning streak, the Dallas Mavericks (19-27) blew a fourth-quarter lead in Luka Dončić’s return, as both the offense and defense collapsed late.
In leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a much-needed 116-110 win, Doncic put up one of his best performances of the season and was even close to adding an 87th career triple-double to his all-time ledger.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.
The Dallas Mavericks (19-27) crumbled in the fourth quarter on Saturday, in Luka Dončić’s second trip to American Airlines Center in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform, wilting in the face of a late 23-5 run behind two clutch 3-pointers from Rui Hachimura in the 116-110 loss.
It’s officially been a year since the Mavericks shocked the league by sending Luka Doncic to the Lakers, and honestly, it still feels a little unreal. That move didn’t just flip two franchises, it tilted the entire NBA power map overnight.

Tonight in Dallas, the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Mavericks in a matchup loaded with meaning. Luka Dončić returns to the city that drafted him and where he became an NBA superstar — this time wearing Lakers purple and gold — to face Cooper Flagg, Dallas’ 2025 No.
Luka Dončić returns to Dallas tonight in a Lakers jersey, and for the Mavericks, this one is going to sting no matter the outcome. Dallas is on a four-game winning streak and has found something in Cooper Flagg, but watching Luka lead the league in scoring for another team is a reminder of the decision that changed this franchise’s trajectory.
Mavericks big man Anthony Davis is at least moving in the right direction. Slowly. Carefully. And with a glove. Davis has returned to Dallas and begun light on-court work as he rehabs ligament damage in his left hand, according to Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com.
The Mavericks will host the Lakers Saturday night, much to the chagrin of the Dallas residents who have to brave the cold and ice to see Luka Doncic play.

Luka Doncic is back in Dallas. As a Los Angeles Laker. Hopefully, we'll be able to type that with him back as a Maverick at some point. In the meantime, these are always going to be emotional games.
Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has had a sensational first season in the NBA. People were worried that at 18, it might take him a little time to adjust to a more physical style of play and to playing more games than in college.

Kyrie Irving wants back on the floor this season. The Mavericks may not want him there. According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, Dallas could seriously consider pushing Irving’s return from a torn left ACL to next season, especially given where the team sits in the standings.
The Dallas Mavericks need a new GM after firing Nico Harrison and many NBA fans believe franchise legend Dirk Nowitzki would be a great choice. However, Nowitzki told Sports Illustrated that he’s not interested in becoming the Mavericks’ new GM.
