Part 4/7:
After the game, Mavericks reporter Tim McMahon provided an update on Davis' condition. Initially optimistic, Davis believed he could return soon from what he described as a day-to-day left abductor strain. However, McMahon later reported that Davis would likely miss multiple weeks, potentially extending to a month depending on evaluation and treatment options.
Fan Discontent and Team Dynamics
The situation was further complicated by fan sentiment following the trade of superstar Luka Dončić. Many Mavericks fans expressed their disappointment and speculated about the nature of the trade. Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont emphatically assured that the team was not relocating to Las Vegas, insisting the Mavericks would remain in Dallas.
