Doncic appeared to be the successor to Nowitzki’s trailblazing path, but his time in Dallas is over. It’s Davis’ turn to chart his own journey in Mavericks blue, a journey he hopes leads to wins and the revitalization of a grieving fanbase.

Davis is still listed as probable for the Rockets-Mavericks game, per the NBA injury report. Dereck Lively II (right ankle stress fracture), Dwight Powell (right hip strain) and recently acquired Caleb Martin (right hip strain) are all listed as out for Saturday's game.

Nico Harrison pulled off one of the most stunning trades in NBA history, sending beloved Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package including Anthony Davis and Max Christie. Almost immediately, everyone was shocked, with a lot of NBA historians calling it the most surprising trade in NBA history.
