The Dallas Mavericks faced a disappointing end to their season, losing 120-106 to the Memphis Grizzlies in the final play-in game. Anthony Davis, despite scoring 40 points, was limited due to injury, a theme that plagued the team throughout the season. The Mavericks traded Luka Doncic for Davis and faced numerous injuries, notably to Davis himself and Kyrie Irving. Coach Jason Kidd and player Klay Thompson expressed pride in their team's perseverance despite the challenges faced in a tumultuous season, marked by injuries and key roster changes after a finals appearance last year.
"I just wanted to leave everything out on the floor, no matter what," Davis said after the Mavericks were eliminated with a 120-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
"I think we persevered," said Thompson, who scored 18 points in the season-ending loss. "It sucks. It really sucks, but I'm really proud of every man in this locker room."
