In one of the most unexpected trades in recent NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks executed a blockbuster deal that sent Luka Doncic to Los Angeles and Anthony Davis to Dallas. The move shocked the NBA community, and is widely regarded as one of the most controversial deals in league history.
Since joining the Mavericks, Davis delivered solid performances, averaging 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game with a 51.6% field goal percentage. However, his first season in Dallas was marred by injuries, including a left adductor strain that sidelined him for a significant portion of the season.

Despite these setbacks, Davis showed flashes of his brilliant self and is expected to be a center figure for the new-look Mavericks next season.
On Wednesday, Davis made the trip to a place he once called home. The 10x All-Star was spotted at the Lakers' practice facility at the Klutch Pro Day, wearing a Dallas Mavericks hat. The image quickly circulated on social media. One things fans noticed was Davis seemingly sporting a new haircut.
"No way did he cut his hair?" one asked.
"Damm did he cut his hair ?" asked another.
"And he got the 2019-2020 season cut too," said one.
"He cut the hair, now he finna cut back to PF weight we getting prime mobility back #scaryhours," said another.
"He cut the hair we going back to PF," another added.
"PELICANS HAIR AD," said another.
It's worth noting Davis is wearing a hat, so it is hard to tell exactly what hairstyle he is sporting, but it looks to many fans that he has indeed gotten a cut. During his time in LA, Davis helped the Lakers win an NBA championship in 2020 and the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament in 2023. He was a cornerstone of the team's defense and a consistent offensive threat, earning multiple All-NBA and All-Defensive Team honors.
