Humiliating defeat, Anthony Davis injured and Nico Harrison Mocked: Mavericks nightmare!

By Mathieu Seguin | Sport editor

No playoffs for the Mavericks, beaten this Friday evening by the Grizzlies. Anthony Davis tried everything, but he will not help a certain reputation that follows him everywhere. Nico Harrison continues to be humiliated by fans.

It's already over for the Mavericks and it is probably better as well. The franchise was not going to do much with a reduced roster and after all that happened this season. More Luka Doncic, more Kyrie Irving, which will not return before 2026 according to the latest feedback, while Dereck Lively II was still limited in minutes (20 Friday evening).

On arrival, Dallas bowed on the score of 120-106. Grizzlies were never set in danger by wedging a 39-24 from the first quarter and managing this advance for the rest of the game. JA MORANT did the job with 22 points and despite ankle pain. But there is no question for him to miss such a part.

Anthony Davis still injured

On the side of the Mavs, Anthony Davis gave everything with 40 points and 9 rebounds, but that will not be enough with a very disappointing roster. What we remember from this part, however, is the player's injury and for the second time as a Dallas player. The creation of the match even took the opportunity to zoom in on a certain Nico Harrison.

After all, Harrison made very doubtful choices. Enjoicing is already an already very criticizable thing, but recovering Davis is another. A great player of course, but whose health has always been controversial since the start of his career. By aging, the player will manage to stay at the best of his form?

Well for the moment, it's a no. Talent is not the problem but between his injury for his first match in Dallas and to finish the play-in, this confirms all the doubts about it.

A year ago, the Mavericks were in the final with the hope of winning the championship. Today, they don't even pass the play-in. Suffice to say that the supporters do not digest the decision of Nico Harrison.
