MEMPHIS -- Anthony Davis limped to the Dallas Mavericks' bench during a timeout with 5:22 remaining Friday night and put a towel over his head.
Davis, nursing a calf that was sore after being kneed by Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey earlier in the fourth quarter, finally called off the fight. He was done for the night. And the Mavericks were done for the season.
"I just wanted to leave everything out on the floor, no matter what," Davis said after the Mavericks were eliminated with a 120-106 loss to the Grizzlies in the Western Conference's final play-in game, which Dallas trailed by 25 points in the first half.
