LOS ANGELES (AP) — Austin Reaves scored 38 points, Luka Doncic added 35 points and 11 assists in his third meeting with his former team, and the Lakers spoiled Anthony Davis’ return to Los Angeles with a 129-119 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
In a further blow to their already fragile rotation, the Mavericks announced that Klay Thompson would be unavailable for the game Saturday against the Clippers as he continues to manage a left knee injury. However, a short time later, the injury report was updated to say that Thompson is available to play.
Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas last season, but based on his three-word message to his former coach JJ Redick following his revenge game vs. the 17-time NBA champions, there’s no bad blood between the two.
D'Angelo Russell was nowhere to be seen on Friday night against the Lakers.
