@TheWestWolfPod: “He’s an outstanding top 10 player when healthy. It really sucks his body often fails him. He’s so great on both ends!
I wish him a full and speedy recovery. NBA is better with AD in it!”

@NationMffl: “This is by far the most painful week in Dallas sports HISTORY.
Trading away Luka Doncic, your 25-year-old franchise player, for Anthony Davis, then watching him have an unreal debut, only for him to get hurt in the third quarter, then hearing he might be out for a month.
Pain.”

Sam Quinn: “Anthony Davis is a top-75 all-time player and he’s going to get remembered for all of the wrong reasons. The injuries. The trade. His title coming in the bubble.
It sucks. It’s such a disservice to a really incredible player.”
