The Dallas Mavericks sent shockwaves through the NBA when they decided to move on from 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic and ship him to the Los Angeles Lakers this week.
The new-look Mavericks, who are now anchored by a tandem of Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, will visit TD Garden on Thursday night.
The initial reaction for many people who found out about the trade on social media was shock. Some players even asked if the reporter who broke the story, ESPN’s Shams Charania, had his phone hacked.
The Celtics also expressed how surprised they were during their roadtrip to Philadelphia on Sunday.
