The New York Knicks will continue their homestand when they host the Mavericks on Tuesday. If only Jalen Brunson could play against his former team, but the point guard will remain sidelined for at least the next few games.
Dallas will also be without its star point guard, as Kyrie Irving tore his ACL a few weeks ago. The Mavericks have dealt with several injuries over the last couple of months, including Anthony Davis. He got hurt in his Dallas debut on Feb. 8, and it seemed like there was a chance he might not play again in 2024-25. The Mavs' season quickly went down the drain after the Luka Doncic trade.
Davis returned to Dallas' lineup on Monday in a 120-101 win. He recorded 12 points (6-of-9), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 27 minutes.
The Mavericks still have a chance to secure a Play-In Tournament berth, but they are being cautious with Davis.
