Dallas now navigates the post-Doncic era, adding pieces like Anthony Davis. Davis hasn’t made his Mavs debut, but that could come against the Celtics for the 7:30 p.m. Thursday game at TD Garden. Davis was upgraded to questionable on the Mavs injury report with his abdominal muscle strain.

That trade took some time to go through because of Martin's current injury, and they opted against voiding the trade due to his timetable on returning, according to Marc Stein.
