“Nobody even noticed you” — Anthony Davis gets surprising reaction from Gilbert Arenas after Dallas Mavericks star faced his former team

The Dallas Mavericks have been in hot water since the Luka Doncic- Anthony Davis trade, which created a shockwave in the entire NBA. The former Los Angeles Lakers star joined the Mavericks, but the organization is far from catching a breath. They have been riddled with injuries, including Davis. Although Davis made his early return, his performance on the court was not what was expected by fans and analysts. NBA legend Gilbert Arenas recently lashed out at AD for his comparatively poor performance against the Lakers.


Anthony Davis had a quiet outing in his 33-minute return to action, finishing with 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting from the field. Davis also went 3-for-5 at the free-throw line, further exposing his struggles to find a rhythm offensively.
On the glass, he remained effective, pulling down 11 rebounds— 9 of them on the defensive end. He also dished out 6 assists. However, his impact was limited defensively, with no steals and just one block on the night.

Turnovers and fouls added to the rough performance, as Davis committed 4 turnovers and picked up 2 personal fouls. His minus-10 rating shows a game where the team struggled to find balance with him on the floor. It’s clear that while Davis is back in the lineup, he’s still searching for his full form and timing following his injury layoff.
In a recent episode of The Gil’s Arena podcast, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas did not hold back anything as he lashed out on AD for his poor performance in the game at the American Airlines Center. “Just as a basketball player for the Dallas Mavericks I’m sorry to tell you you failed the assignment last night,” Arena stated.
“They’re screaming another name in here, they’ve got flags all through the m*** f****. It wasn’t an American flag, it wasn’t a Dallas, Texas flag, it was his country flag. It was your chance, your spotlight to show the Dallas Maverick fans you ain’t no bum, you’re going to bring them something, and nobody even noticed you,” the NBA legend added.
