After a couple of days of training camp in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Dallas Mavericks have already fallen victim to the injury curse that plagued them last season, as Daniel Gafford and Brandon Williams have already suffered injuries before any preseason action can even kick off.
While it seems like both players will be healthy by the start of the season, this increases the workload on players such as Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell in the meantime, but Davis thinks Russell is poised to take what's in front of him this season for the Mavericks. At Dallas' media day on Monday, Davis spoke glowingly of his former teammate, knocking the notion that Russell isn't a winning player.
