The 2025-26 NBA season continues to be a struggle for the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs sit at just 9-16 through 25 games of action on the campaign, and now they'll be without a key contributor for the rest of the season.

The Dallas Mavericks put their three-game winning streak to the ultimate test on Friday night as they faced the OKC Thunder on the road. The Thunder have easily been the NBA's best team this year, and they've been obliterating teams this year.

The Mavericks are allegedly weighing a massive decision about Anthony Davis’ future with the team, albeit quietly.

According to NBA reporter Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Pistons haven’t had trade talks with the Dallas Mavericks regarding Anthony Davis.

The Brooklyn Nets have had a few days off due to the unique effect that the NBA Cup has on the schedule for every team that doesn't make the tournament.
