Last couple of months have been a rollercoaster of emotions for Anthony Davis. During his final days as a Laker, he suffered an abdominal injury and was forced to sit out a few games. While he was still recovering, Rob Pelinka traded him to the Mavs without any prior notice. After getting over the initial shock, Davis finally made his Mavs debut on February 8, but suffered another major setback as he got injured once again. Amid this chaos, ‘The Brow’ also had his family to worry about. So he turned to Luka Doncic for help!

During a recent interview with Andscape, Davis was asked—What has been the toughest part to adjust to since the trade? Obviously, his first response was not being able to suit up because of the adductor injury and help the Mavs in their playoff pursuit. But now that AD is healthy and back in the lineup, he revealed another big concern.

“The only thing I’m not happy about is that I can’t find a damn house in Dallas. I’ve been looking since I got there and I can’t find the house. So, me and the wife trying to figure everything out,” he revealed.

Nearly two months into the trade, Davis and his family are still in search of a permanent residence in Dallas. Knowing that Luka had been through the same process before, the veteran forward contacted him. He revealed the details of their private conversation: “Actually, Luka told me it took him two to three years to find a house.” Of course, it was an even bigger transition for the Slovenian star because he was coming to a new country, into a completely new environment.

But 2-3 years seems like a very long time to find a new home. As expected, Davis is not prepared to wait that long. “I’m not trying to wait two or three years. I got kids,” he stated. With his wife Marlen, and their three children, AD wants to finalize a permanent residence soon so that they can fully adjust to the place and start a new life in Dallas. Now that health is no longer a concern, maybe Davis can shift his focus to the pressing family matter.

However, he might have avoided this waiting period altogether had he not risked an injury by rushing his Mavs debut.

Anthony Davis makes brutal confession about regretful decision after Lakers-Mavs trade

When AD made his debut on February 8, he initially showed no signs of rust and was dominant from the get-go. In only three quarters, he tallied a 26-point double-double, giving the Mavs fanbase hope. But it all went downhill when he suffered an adductor injury that put him out for multiple weeks. Maybe the injury could have been avoided had he delayed his debut and managed his abdominal injury for a few more days.

When asked if he pushed too hard to play with abdominal injury upon his arrival to Dallas, Davis hinted at being regretful. “If I could do it over, I would probably take a couple more days,” AD admitted. He also revealed how the sudden trade affected his recovery.

“When the trade happened, I was on my way to come back against possibly the Clippers with the Lakers [on Feb. 4]. But when the trade happened, you got to leave and go to the next city, go through your physical. And I had to go to meet them in Philly, try to get everything situated. So, I didn’t have my treatment gear that I needed. So, that was like three days of not treating [the injury] and being on a protocol that I’ve been on,” he further revealed.

“So, possibly. I don’t know. I can’t say. But I probably would’ve taken a couple more days, looking back at it,” he added. But what’s done is done, and it’s time for Davis to move on and focus on the task at hand. With eight regular-season games remaining, he can still help the Mavs reach the playoffs by qualifying through the play-in tournament. And that’s what he plans on achieving while also finding a new house on the side.
