Anthony Davis expects to make his debut for the Dallas Mavericks in their first home game since the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers.

Beyond knowing he should be on the floor for the opening tip against the Houston Rockets today, Davis has no idea what to expect.

Anger among fans in Dallas hadn’t eased much in the six days after the blockbuster that also sent Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick to the Mavs while Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris went to L.A.

Most of the ire has been directed at Dallas general manager Nico Harrison, who shipped out a 25-year-old superstar in his prime just eight months after the Mavs reached the NBA Finals.

“I get who Luka was to this franchise, to this city,” Davis said Friday at his introductory news conference. “I’m never going to downplay that. Just how I know what I meant to the city of L.A. So I’m not surprised by the fans’ reaction and the city’s reaction. It’s my job to come in and play basketball and do what I’m supposed to do and give the fans hope and reassurance on why Nico brought me here.

“Obviously it was a tough transition. It was a shock to all. My job is to come in and win basketball games.”

All Davis can do is build his own case as one of the NBA’s best big men, a 10-time All-Star — with career averages of 24.2 points and 10.7 rebounds — who teamed with LeBron James to lead the Lakers to their 17th championship in 2020.
