Anthony Davis isn’t giving up on Dallas despite a 5-15 record
The Dallas Mavericks dropped to 5-15 after suffering a 129-119 Cup loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. With basically everything going wrong this season, the star big man Anthony Davis isn’t ready to give upas he claims the team is doing everything they can to compete.
Davis, 32, says he and the Mavericks they are focused on competition and righting the ship, according to Grant Afsett of the Dallas Hoops Journal. The 14-year pro seemingly believes the team is close to figuring things out and playing more competitive basketball.
“We’re still playing basketball, trying to compete,” Anthony Davis said. “We compete, we play for each other, and we play together. I remember when Brooklyn started 5-20 and finished as a four seed. I’m not saying we compare to that or we’re going to start 5-20, but we just have to keep competing. It was just there and we’re here to complain, but we can complain. fight, I feel like we’re there.
The The Mavericks are in the middle a three-game losing streak. Injuries hampered much of the early season, as Anthony Davis only played in six games. Dallas is also without Kyrie Irving, while center Derek Lively II has also played sporadically, trying to work his way back from a knee injury he suffered late last season.
Anthony Davis being healthy will be key for the Mavericks moving forward. So far this season, he’s averaging 19.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. He is also shooting 52.9% from the field and 25.0% from the three-point line.
