Another day brings us closer to the end of the season.
Perhaps it’s the madness of March in the air, with potential franchise-saviors playing wall-to-wall on national television, as the Brooklyn Nets near their first lottery selection since Derrick Favors, but more likely, this is just a 23-48 season nearing completion.
The Dallas Mavericks were nearly guaranteed to hand Brooklyn their 49th loss of the season when the laughingstock of the 2024-25 NBA season announced Anthony Davis would be making his return from a six-week absence on Monday night. Why, who knows? According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, even Davis’ confidants have urged him not to return this season.
