The Dallas Mavericks will have leading scorer and rebounder Anthony Davis back in the lineup in their first game of 2026. Davis will return to the floor against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday after missing the last two games with what the Mavericks described as right adductor soreness.

The Milwaukee Bucks do have some space under the second tax apron, so they could could Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell (or Dante Exum) for Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner. The issue from there would be draft compensation.

Bill Simmons believe that the Boston Celtics could try to poach Mavericks star Cooper Flagg in free agency down the line.

Dallas is hovering just below the second apron of the NBA salary cap, without much space to sign anyone even with the exceptions.
