Dallas Mavericks fans received crushing news on Sunday as Anthony Davis was ruled out for another week due to his left calf strain. The setback comes at a difficult time for the franchise, which already faced turbulence that led to the firing of GM Nico Harrison just last week.

Later that night, the Mavericks stepped onto the court to face the Portland Trail Blazers. Behind another standout performance from rookie sensation Cooper Flagg, Dallas secured a 138–133 overtime victory at the American Airlines Center.

The win marked the Mavericks’ first win over a Western Conference opponent and their first home victory since October 29. With this result, Dallas improved to 4–10 on the season. Meanwhile, Portland’s loss concluded their 1–4 road trip, bringing them to a 6–7 record.
