Mavericks desperately need Anthony Davis to unlock greatness behind that new look

Anthony Davis has a new frame of mind these days. Is it the shoes? Or could it be those stylish Oakley glasses that he’s been sporting lately? Davis is seeing things more clearly. Without LASIK. Literally and figuratively. And that’s thanks to the doctor's orders, to be exact.

After spending the offseason recovering from surgery to repair a detached retina, he’s been given strict instructions to wear protective goggles (a la Horace Grant) for the rest of his career, to prevent any issues with his long-term eye health.

Davis is happy to be back on the floor despite coming into training camp a little heavier than normal due to his extended inactivity as a result of the eye surgery.
