Anthony Davis didn’t get much time on the floor with the Dallas Mavericks last season after arriving in the blockbuster Luka Doncic trade, but all signs point to a clean slate heading into 2025-26.

The superstar big man looks healthy, refreshed, and ready to take on a massive role in shaping the Mavs’ new era. For a franchise still adjusting to life without Doncic, Davis represents both a stabilizing force and a potential game-changer.

As the DLLS Mavs crew launches its season preview series, the conversation naturally turns toward Davis’ impact.

Can he be the consistent anchor on both ends of the court that Dallas desperately needs?

Expectations are high, not just for his health, but for how the team will feature him offensively, manage his minutes, and maximize his unique skill set in a roster that’s been reshaped around him.

Jeff Cavanaugh and Jesse Holley break down their first impressions of Brian Schottenheimer’s offense with Dak Prescott running the show.

Jeff went deep into the film over the weekend and came back with some eye-opening takeaways.

Could this new look unlock another level for the Cowboys’ offense? The guys have thoughts you won’t want to miss.

Mavrik Bourque’s had flashes of brilliance last season, but the Dallas Stars forward insists fans haven’t seen anything close to his full potential.

After battling injuries, healthy scratches, and an up-and-down first half, the 23-year-old caught fire in 2025, proving he belongs in the NHL spotlight.

Now with a fresh contract, a thinner Stars roster, and new coach Glen Gulutzan backing him, Bourque has a golden opportunity to claim a bigger role.

Could this be the year he explodes into a top-six star and silences every doubt?

The Texas Rangers have battled through every challenge in the playoff race, but now comes their biggest test yet.

Milwaukee, one of baseball’s best teams, arrives in Arlington with the postseason hanging in the balance.

Can Texas rise to the occasion again and prove they’re built for October? Plus, Jon Daniels joins Anthony Andro to talk Rangers and the powerful “Do it for Durrett” cause.

$600 would be a miracle. I wouldn't be surprised if this cost $1000 by the time we get to the release date, which isn’t expected for a few more years.
