We had forgotten about it, but Davis Bertans is still stuck in the Mavericks infirmary. Embarrassed by pain in his right knee, already operated on twice, he has still not started his season.

“When the team plays well and wins, it’s fun to watch, it’s easy to watch. But when the team is struggling, especially some games where there’s trouble behind the 3-point line, I’m sitting on the bench or watching this on TV and I’m like, ‘I could really help with my shot. The games where the team has a little trouble are the ones that make you anxious, that make you want to be on the pitch. »
