There's been growing frustration with the Dallas Mavericks lately. Even though Cooper Flagg has had two double-doubles so far this season, it hasn't been enough to wow fans, as they have underperformed to their standard through five games. The loss to the Washington Wizards was a reality check, saying that this team needs to adjust. The injury to Anthony Davis is only the beginning of what could be a long season, but it raises a question about how this training staff is operating, and it's concerning.
Davis was listed as questionable with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy for Wednesday night's game, the game that he got injured in, and Dallas' decision to play him despite this is extremely bold.
