For Davis Bertu0101ns, the hardest part of recovering from a disagreeable right knee hasn’t been the lonely drills in an otherwise empty gym during more than a month of rehab.
It’s been the five times that the Mavericks have lost when they shot a combined 31 percent from three-point range in those games.
For one of the best pure shooters on the planet, that’s a tough stat to swallow.
“When the team’s playing great and winning, it’s fun to watch, it’s easy to watch,” Bertu0101ns said. “Once the team’s struggling and especially some games struggling from the three-point line, I’m just sitting on the sideline or watching on TV and I’m like: I could definitely help with the shooting.
