Jason Kidd says Anthony Davis is a “game-time decision” but has had no setbacks with his adductor. Asked why he’s a game-time decision, Kidd says, “I’m just reading the script.” #gamesmanship – 8:02 PM

Kidd says Anthony Davis is a game-time decision.
He got asked about the thought process going into the decision.
“I’m just reading the script,” Kidd says, with a chuckle. – 8:01 PM

AD hasn’t come close to getting or setting up a good shot in these isos against Sabonis. Kings haven’t had to send much more than the standard help. – 10:29 PM

I guess we’re going to find out what an offense run through Anthony Davis every time can do. He was looking pretty gassed by the end of that first segment. – 10:22 PM

Pathetic transition defense by AD. Tried to draw a foul on Sabonis on a J, ran directly to the ref while Sabonis ran down for a layup. – 10:17 PM

More on this storyline
Marc Stein: The Grizzlies won 48 games. Deserve West’s No. 8 seed more than a 39-43 foe. Dispiriting end for Dallas regardless. Anthony Davis’ 40 points can’t prevent a humbling capper to a wretched season that set the Mavericks who knows how far back. -via x.com / April 19, 2025
Brett Siegel: The Grizzlies take care of the Mavs 120-106 and claim the West’s 8-seed. Memphis will play Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs. A nightmare season for Dallas ends with a blowout loss, no playoff appearance, and Anthony Davis getting injured. Luka plays tomorrow… -via x.com / April 19, 2025
Mike Curtis: Anthony Davis went to the locker room before the halftime buzzer sounded. Not sure what was said, but he also had an exchange with a fan before walking into the tunnel. He approached the fan, but he was held back by a Mavs security officer. -via x.com / April 18, 2025
