Anthony Davis had 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks in his Mavericks debut but left the game late in the third quarter with a lower-body injury as Dallas beat the Houston Rockets 116-105.

Newly acquired Anthony Davis got off to a dominant start with the Dallas Mavericks, recording 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. But his promising debut was cut short by a minor injury in the team’s 116-105 victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday.

The Dallas Mavericks returned home for the first time since sending megastar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers before the trade deadline. It was a volatile crowd, as Mavs fans were outside of the American Airlines Center hours before the game protesting the trade.
