Anthony Davis says injury is ‘not serious’

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Austin Reaves becomes the first Laker to join Kobe, LeBron and AD in the last 20 years to score 45+ points.
Perhaps Luka Doncic will be next. – 6:53 PM

Mavs HC Jason Kidd postgame, re: Anthony Davis (non-contact, lower body injury):
Q: How’s AD doing?
A: “I guess alright…we’ll see how he feels tomorrow.” – 6:04 PM

#Rockets fall to Mavs, 116-105, extending their losing streak to 6. Fell behind by 21 in 1stH, got w/in 2 in the 3rdQ, ultimately unable to complete the comeback. Also Anthony Davis’ Mavs debut cut short by a lower body injury. Back in about 20 hours for Rockets-Raptors, 1p tip – 5:41 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
Well down the rank of importance, but the NBA All-Star Game is a week from tomorrow and Anthony Davis appears to have re-aggravated the same injury that just kept him out for five games and more than a week.
For the Mavericks’ sake, hopefully it’s a minor tweak. He was listed as – 5:34 PM

Tough break for AD. Hope he recovers quickly. – 5:14 PM

Anthony Davis in the first quarter of his Dallas debut: 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block.
It is the first time in his NBA career that he’s finished a first quarter with all those numbers.
Quite a first impression. – 3:38 PM

Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Anthony Davis had 14 points, eight rebounds, three assists and a block in first quarter as a Mav. Mavs 33, Rockets 20. – 3:36 PM

How’s this for Anthony Davis’ first quarter as a Maverick?
11 minutes, 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 block, 6-of-8 shooting, including 1-of-1 on 3-pointers.
Mavs were plus-13 when Davis was on the court. – 3:35 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Rick Carlisle made clear pregame that Myles Turner is not in the concussion protocol; just a neck strain.
“He’s done better each of the last two days. Today was not in the cards, but we’re hoping Tuesday is.”
No AD, LeBron, Luka, Kléber, Williams, Wood for LAL. – 3:30 PM

Hell Yeah AD!!! – 3:27 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
I’m sure this was a motivational few days for Anthony Davis, not only getting traded but the strays he kept catching with all the (rightful) chatter about how bad the trade was. Thought that revenge arc got overlooked too much for Luka’s (and I get why). – 3:19 PM

It seems as if, lost in all the trade talk, the world forgot that Anthony Davis is still awesome. – 3:19 PM

AD letting Dallas know quickly that he’s a star too with versatile game. Showing energy and emotion, too. Great start for the new Mav. – 3:18 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
First play of the game: A pindown for Thompson, who finds AD in the post. AD lobs it to Gafford.
A few moments later, Davis gets his first block as a Mav and this crowd erupts. Led to a dunk in transition for Washington. – 3:14 PM
