Act 1 of the crisis: The Mavericks new season starts with injuries!

For the Mavericks, the new season has not yet begun, but the new season seems to have begun to cast a shadow ahead of schedule.

According to the latest report, Davis, the core forward who is highly anticipated, chose to undergo retinal surgery in the offseason. He has not participated in full training with the team yet, and it is likely that he will not be able to catch up with the new season opening in October in the future.

Davis' recovery period is estimated to be two months after the surgery is completed in July. However, the recovery of eye injuries was complicated and the progress was not progressed as scheduled. It is precisely because of this that there is a rumor that the outside world is questioning that he is likely to not be able to catch up with the season's opening match.

In addition, Davis is not the only one on the Mavericks' injury list. The team's backcourt core Irving was reimbursed for a torn cruciate ligament on his left knee as early as March this year. The tricky thing is that his recovery period is very likely to continue until the middle of the 2025-26 season.

Although both the Irving team and the Mavericks management have sent optimistic signals many times, the league has also had more serious lessons: Jamal Murray had missed a full season due to such injuries. As for Irving, even if he returns smoothly, his return timeline will be basically in the second half of the new season.

For the Mavericks, this means that it is basically difficult for the Mavericks to rank the most ideal core lineup in the first half of the season. But Davis is once again troubled by injuries, and the team's future prospects are inevitably sad.

Now, when recalling the accident of Davis joining the Mavericks, it still seems like a thunderclap. The team sent away the super core that was trained by himself and stood at the top of the league at a young age, and returned to the key, combat power.

team general manager Harris has also emphasized many times that Davis will be the core puzzle for the Mavericks to strive for the championship in the new season. As a result, he left the third quarter of his debut due to injury and was able to make a comeback after more than a month of rest.

And during this period of absence, the Mavericks fell from firmly in the playoffs to the edge of the playoffs. Even though Davis returned successfully in March, his personal condition and team chemistry were still slightly poor, and he failed to save the team's defeat. In the playoffs, the life-and-death battle against the Grizzlies was injured in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Mavericks were unable to turn the situation around and stopped outside the playoffs.

Particularly considering that Davis has always been with the Glass Man tag in his career. The Mavericks chose to give up the future and exchange for insider combat power, but they failed to wait for the expected continuous output. After waiting for an offseason, everyone was looking forward to his return with full blood, but now the new problems brought by retinal surgery have once again pushed the team into an embarrassing situation.

The team has the No. 1 pick and welcomes the rookie Flag, who is very popular. The new season should be the node for the Mavericks to hit the record. The arrival of young players and the staying of the main lineup have made the outside world full of imagination about the Mavericks. But with both the main players of Irving and Davis, the first-time pick Flagg may need to take more pressure on his own.

If fans want to see the chemistry between this talented rookie and the two star partners, they may have to wait for a while.
