On March 5, Beijing time, according to Shams of the Athletic, due to the season reimbursement caused by Irving's torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the Dallas Mavericks' center Thick Eyebrow may also miss the rest of the season.
Shams said on the show that the Mavericks may not play the rest of the season due to a left adductor strain.
"I think (Bushy Eyebrow) will get together with his representatives. I think they're going to have some really tough conversations. This game (debut) was the last time we saw Anthony Davis this season, and it wasn't out of the question. ”
Davis has played just 31 minutes as a Mavericks player so far this season. He made his Mavericks debut against the Rockets on Feb. 9 and was outstanding prior to his injury, finishing with 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks on 10-of-18 shooting.
Irving was injured in the game against the Kings. This season, he played in 50 games, averaging 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 40.1 percent from three-point range.
So far this season, he has averaged 25.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 52.8% from the field and 31.3% from three-point range.
The trade between Doncic and Bushy was a deal that no one expected, and to this day, some Mavericks fans and NBA sports people still can't let go of it.
The news of Irving's season reimbursement has undoubtedly added to the Mavericks' plans for this season. They are currently in 10th place in the West and are in a tough position. Although the Mavericks are just 1.5 wins away from sixth place in the West, there are signs that they may abandon this season and focus on next season. At present, the Mavericks are already in a state full of injuries, and in order to better protect the thick eyebrows, they may indeed consider not playing the rest of the season.
