An NBA insider floats a potential Anthony Davis reunion trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.

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.

This season, Davis is averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 52% overall and 27.3% on 3-pointers. Dallas was 2-3 with him in the lineup and has gone 3-11 during his absence. The Mavs (5-14) are tied with the Sacramento Kings for the second-worst record in the Western Conference.

LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis is set to make his return to the Dallas Mavericks lineup against the Los Angeles Lakers, a person with knowledge of the team’s thinking confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.

Anthony Davis was at his best when he was the Robin to LeBron James' Batman, as the pair led the Los Angeles Lakers to an NBA championship in 2020. The problem is Nico Harrison thought otherwise, as the since-fired Dallas Mavericks general manager traded homegrown superstar Luka Dončić for Davis in an attempt to fortify the defense.
