In his Dallas Mavericks debut, Anthony Davis scored 26 points with 12 rebounds before leaving in the third quarter with an abdominal injury, to guide a 116-105 victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday.

It was Davis' first game with the Mavericks since he was acquired in a league-shaking trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 1.
