The Los Angeles Lakers shocked the NBA by trading Anthony Davis and Max Christie to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic. Davis is set to make his debut for the Mavericks against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, just days after being acquired in a blockbuster trade.
The NBA trade deadline on Thursday saw several significant moves, but none were as shocking as the Los Angeles Lakers sending Anthony Davis and Max Christie to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Luka Doncic . This marked the end of the Lakers' era defined by the dynamic duo of Davis and LeBron James, as James now finds himself partnered with the 25-year-old international superstar Doncic. Davis and Christie join Kyrie Irving on the revamped Mavericks roster.
In a separate transaction, Dallas also acquired Caleb Martin from Philadelphia. Just days before the blockbuster trade, Davis sustained an abdominal strain during the Lakers' 118-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. While Christie immediately integrated into the Mavericks' system, injuries to Davis and Martin have kept them sidelined. On Friday, Davis provided an update as he was introduced by the Mavericks alongside Christie and Martin. 'Yeah, I’m going to play tomorrow,' Davis confirmed. The Mavericks are scheduled to face the Houston Rockets in the Battle of Texas on Saturday afternoon. 'I don’t know how tomorrow’s going to be as far as the reaction, but I can’t control that. What I can control is going out winning basketball and helping the team do what I can,' Davis added. Those eager to witness Davis in action against his former team won't have to wait long. The Mavericks will travel to Los Angeles for a game on Tuesday, February 25th. This story was reported from Los Angeles
