Davis hasn't played in a game since February 8.

ESPN's Tim MacMahon: "Anthony Davis will practice with the Texas Legends so he can get 5-on-5 work as he ramps up for his return."

@JoshEngleman: "With this move, the Texas Legends are officially better than the Dallas Mavericks."

@_Cars0n_: "Bro, stop. Shut it all down. Even if we make the play in, we’re getting stomped by the Twolves."

@thechek182: "Probably shouldn't waste any court minutes for AD in the G-League tbh who knows how many more he has left this season"

@tweedbarker1: "the energy is about to shift"

@AbrahamLakeShow: "Yeah go ahead and risk injury again, you're already out the playoffs, let AD sit out for the season"

@rajadpp: "Mavs Stop this nonsense, Let AD rest for the season. Get a Good lottery draft pick, you can either draft a solid player in lottery or use that pick on a trade to upgrade in the summer. Get a fresh start next season"
