On September 21st , the Dallas Mavericks received a key positive news before the start of the new season. All-Star center Anthony Davis successfully returned after eye surgery. This week, he participated in full-court 5-on-5 training for the first time, showing that he has returned to game intensity.

Reporter Mark Stein pointed out that this was Davis' first official team training since he was diagnosed with retinal surgery in July, and it basically confirmed that he has been allowed to return to the court.

Davis and Klay Thompson developed a strong chemistry during the offseason camp . Thompson is entering his second season with the Mavericks, and both players are expected to lead a young roster. The team is currently without Kyrie Irving, who is sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament injury and is expected to return midseason.

To fill their backcourt vacancies, the Mavericks signed D'Angelo Russell and drafted rising star Cooper Flagg with the top pick. Additionally, Irving signed a contract extension, and P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford remained on the roster, maintaining a balance between youth and experience.

After being eliminated in the playoffs last season, the Mavericks hope to regain their competitiveness in the Western Conference through the healthy return of Davis, the stable performance of Thompson, and the addition of new players and rookies.
