Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Scoring explosion not enough
Rotowire
Davis closed with 40 points (16-29 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to Memphis.
Davis' game-high 40 points tied for his most points in a contest this season. However, the star big man's dominant outing wasn't enough for the Mavericks to avoid being eliminated from playoff contention. After being traded from the Lakers, Davis averaged 20.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks in 29.6 minutes across his nine regular-season appearances for the Mavericks, as he missed a significant period due to a left groin strain.
Davis (knee) has returned to Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Davis exited the game briefly due to an apparent knee injury, but he returned to the hardwood after receiving treatment. The big man should continue to operate as Dallas' go-to option on offense down the stretch in a game during which the Mavericks are down by a wide margin.
