Newly acquired Anthony Davis got off to a dominant start with the Dallas Mavericks, recording 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. But his promising debut was cut short by a minor injury in the team’s 116-105 victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday.

There is some irony to this, as the Mavericks traded away Luka Doncic because of injury and conditioning concerns, and Anthony Davis, the key return of the Doncic trade, goes down with an injury in his first game with the team. It's brutal to see Davis go down, especially with how well he was playing in this game.

Hundreds of Mavericks fans gathered outside the American Airlines Center on Saturday, holding signs and chanting "Fire Nico!"
