Dallas Mavericks fans are still reeling from the team’s decision to trade away Luka Doncic.
In many ways, Doncic was the heart and soul of the organization, a player that many believed would lead the Mavericks’ journey throughout his NBA career.
However, the NBA is a business, and the Mavericks’ front office seemed to believe that moving on from Doncic was their best path forward.
They did acquire Anthony Davis in the deal, an athlete who has been among the best in the league when healthy.
Davis’ potential long-term impact was felt when he stepped on the court for the Mavericks, stringing several strong performances together before he got injured.
He’s slated to be back and fully healthy in the 2025-2026 season, hoping to find success with No. 1 overall pick, Cooper Flagg.
Fans have been talking about Davis’ recent Instagram post, which sent a cryptic message.
Davis mentions “not caring anymore” as a result of caring too much at one point, which could be a reference to his feelings about the Mavericks.
“A man who doesn’t care anymore was once a man who cared too much,” Davis’ story wrote.

Of course, this could be about something or someone else entirely, but fans tend to read into players’ social media accounts and potentially draw the wrong conclusions.
If Davis is unhappy with the team, it could lead to frustrations within the locker room, potentially resulting in another failed season for this franchise.
With any luck, this is about something in his personal life that resolves soon, and that he’ll start the season off on the right foot, ready to be a leader for this team.
