76ers vs Mavericks: Will Anthony Davis make his Mavericks debut tonight?

The ten-time NBA All-Star is currently averaging at 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season. 

All eyes will be on the Philadelphia 76ers’ tonight’s match as they host the Dallas Mavericks in a highly-anticipated clash on Tuesday, Feb. 4. The Mavericks left the entire NBA world stunned when they announced that they have decided to trade superstar Luka Doncic to the LeBron James’ starring LA Lakers

The Mavs, currently on the eighth spot of the Western Conference standings with a 26-24 tally, acquired the services of Lakers’ big man Anthony Davis and Max Christie. This will be their second game post the Doncic era and fans would want to see what kind of magic Davis does to turn around their fate and snap their two-match defeat streak. 

Dallas will head into the game on the back of their 144-101 blowout loss at the hands of the table-toppers Cavaliers. Likewise, the 76ers will aim to avoid their third straight loss, following their defeat to the Celtics 118-110. 

As both sides are gearing up for the upcoming match, fans would want to see the former Lakers star donning his new jersey. However, the side shared an update about him revealing the status and possibility of his debut against the eleventh-seeded 76ers.
