Emergency surgery for retinal shedding in thick eyebrows, Flag s debut ticket price hits record high

In the NBA world, the Mavericks have never been short of topics. During this offseason, this team has been moving continuously, which has attracted many discussions among fans.

Let's talk about the heart-wrenching injuries first. Early in the morning of July 9, well-known journalist Shams broke the news that Mavericks' inside player Anthony Davis, who is well-known Thick Eyebrow, suffered a serious injury from retinal shedding. Fortunately, the operation has been completed successfully and it is expected to fully recover before the new season training camp begins. But the news still made the fans' hearts hang up. After all, injuries are like an irregular time bomb for athletes.

Shams also mentioned that Davis suffered multiple injuries to his face last season, but he kept playing for the whole season with injuries. However, ophthalmologist Dr. Siegel has a different view on this. Dr. Siegel said: "If there is complete retinal detachment, it must be dealt with immediately. It is impossible to complete the entire season with an injury.

The Thick Brow last season was likely because of a small hole in the retina, or the injury that caused the risk of retinal detachment." This also made many fans speculate whether Shams did not explain the situation clearly. Will the Thick Brow lose its retina only during the offseason? After all, Shams only said that after the injury last season, it was not clear that he played the game with "retinal shedding" injuries. According to common sense, Thick Eyebrow is likely to have an eye injury last season, and it was not until this offseason that she suffered retinal detachment, otherwise she would not have delayed until now for surgery. For Mavericks fans, injuries are like lingering haze, which always makes them worried.

Then I turned my eyes back to the match between Davis and the Mavericks, and that was also a lot of things. In the NBA playoffs this April 19, the Mavericks lost 106-120 to the Grizzlies. In this game, Davis performed amazingly, making 16 of 29 shots, scoring 40 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, but unfortunately the team still lost. Moreover, when the game was in the fourth quarter, Thick Eyebrow was injured and retreated early, which made the fans feel very distressed.

Time goes forward. On February 9 this year, Thick Brows ushered in her debut in the Mavericks. This was a time worth looking forward to. As a result, he was injured without confrontation in the third quarter and was eventually diagnosed with a left adductor muscle strain. This time the injury caused Danmei to be bad. He rested for more than a month and did not return to the arena until March 25. In the 2024-25 season, the Brows played only 9 regular season games with the Mavericks, averaging 29.6 minutes per game, scoring 20 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 2.2 blocks, with shooting percentages of 46.1%, 23.3%, and 68.8% per game, and 3.3 three-pointers per game. Compared with last season's performance in the Lakers, Davis' data has declined. He played 42 regular season games with the Lakers last season, averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.1 blocks, and shots from 52.8%, 29.8%, and 78.8% from three events. On February 2 this year, the Lakers made a big deal, giving Thomas Brows, Christie and the 2029 first round pick to the Mavericks in exchange for Doncic, Cleber and Morris. This deal caused a sensation at the time. Now it seems that the injury of Thick Brow in the Mavericks also adds some uncertainty to the deal.

I have to say that the body of Thick Brow is indeed a bit "glass-attributed". He has played in more than 65 regular season games in just one time in the last seven seasons. The Mavericks signed a three-year, $175 million contract that expires in the summer of 2028, with the 2027-28 season being a $62.78 million player option. Unpopular Brow was born on March 11, 1993 and will be 34 years old in the summer of 2027. Whether he will try the free market at that time is also a problem that the Mavericks need to face.

However, the Mavericks are not just bad news about injuries this year's offseason, and they have also made a lot of moves in signings. The team renewed Irving for 3 years $118.5 million, with the third year of contract being a player option and also includes 15% of the trade margin. In addition, the Mavericks also renewed Gafford's contract for $60 million in three years and signed Russell for $11.6 million in two years. These operations are undoubtedly to enhance the team's strength and make the team more competitive in the new season.

But if you want to say that the most important signing for the Mavericks this offseason is to choose Flag with the No. 1 pick. The young player has attracted much attention and fans are looking forward to him. At 8 a.m. on July 11, the NBA Summer League will usher in a focus battle, with the Mavericks vs. the Lakers, and Flag will also have his debut with the Mavericks. According to ticket media TickPick, the average ticket price for this game is as high as $201 per ticket, directly breaking the NBA summer league record. This is enough to show the fans' fanatical pursuit of Flag, and everyone wants to witness the performance of the No. 1 pick on the field.

Now, the Mavericks' lineup has hidden dangers of injury, and new players have joined, and the rotation lineup is full of variables. So, how far can this team go in the new season? Whether it is possible to counterattack due to injuries, or to be dragged down by injuries, or to lead the team to a breakthrough, all this is still unknown, so time can only give the answer.
