Overview

• Official Mavericks training-camp photos posted on X showed Anthony Davis on court, prompting fan comments that he looks heavier than last season.
• Sporting News reported his weight has increased by about 15 pounds since last year’s camp, from 253 to 268 pounds, a figure not independently confirmed in the provided coverage.
• Davis appeared in only nine games for Dallas after the February trade, exiting his debut with a left adductor strain before returning late in March.
• He said at media day he will wear protective goggles going forward, and the team will monitor his game readiness for the Oct. 22 opener against the Spurs.
• Fan reaction ties the weight chatter to Dallas’s recent emphasis on conditioning, including prior comments from GM Nico Harrison about Luka Doncic.
