Unbelievable! Goodbye, Davis! The NBA's most fragile superstar

Five minutes playing, one hour resting.

Davis got injured once more in the Mavericks' 116-126 Christmas loss to the Warriors, exiting after roughly 11 minutes due to a groin cramp....This guy also left last year’s Christmas game between the Lakers and Warriors after only seven minutes because of an ankle injury.

So far this season, the 32-year-old Davis has played 16 games, averaging 29.9 minutes, contributing 20.5 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.6 blocks. The Mavericks currently hold a 12-20 record, ranking 11th in the Western Conference; over his two seasons with Dallas, Davis has only appeared in 25 regular-season games combined.

Due to his severe fragility and underwhelming performance, Davis has been put on the trade block by the Mavericks. His current contract runs through the summer of 2028, paying $54.13 million this season, with about $120 million over the next two seasons. It’s reported that Eastern Conference teams, including the top-ranked Pistons, are very interested in acquiring him.

A player’s value ultimately must be proven on the court; otherwise, no matter how talented, it’s all in vain.

Frequently sidelined with injuries, his absence rate far exceeds his presence—who could tolerate that?

If the Mavericks do trade Davis before next year’s deadline (February 6, Beijing time), it would hardly come as a surprise.

Next door’s Christmas game drew massive attention too, with the Rockets crushing the fully healthy Lakers 119-96.

Known for their offensive talent, the Lakers have scored under 100 points in two of their last three games.

Currently, the Lakers stand fourth in the West with a 19-10 record, while the Rockets are sixth at 18-10, separated by just half a game.

Other Christmas matchups included the Knicks beating the Cavaliers 126-124, the Spurs defeating the Thunder 117-102 (completing a season sweep), and the Nuggets edging out the Timberwolves 142-138.

The grand finale belonged to my guy Jokic, who exploded with an incredible 56 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists in a godlike triple-double, breaking multiple NBA records—truly the king of modern basketball, unmatched by anyone.
