In a recent interview, Anthony Davis attempted to reassure Mavericks fans amid the fallout from Luka Dončić’s trade to the Lakers. He expressed confidence in his abilities and emphasized that fans should recognize that, while they lost a superstar, they also gained one in him. However, the current atmosphere in Dallas is tense, with supporters openly protesting following the trade.

“I know who I am as a player,” Davis stated. “I just wanted to let Dallas fans know – I’ve got y’all, I’m here, I’m here now. I know you lost a superstar in Luka, but you also gained a superstar in myself.”

Despite Davis’s impressive debut for Dallas, his injury concerns and the ongoing challenges facing the Mavericks may hinder efforts to win over the fan base.
