Here's the latest following a hectic stretch leading up to Thursday's deadline day.

Moody: The Mavericks officially closed the book on the brief, injury-marred AD era by sending him to the Wizards in a blockbuster multi-player deal. Dallas also included Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum, while receiving Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, plus two first-round picks and three second-rounders.

For the Mavericks, the move reflects a clear shift toward long-term stability. Davis played in just 20 of Dallas' first 50 games this season, with the team going 10-10 when he was available and 9-21 when he was sidelined. Durability remained the defining issue. Including this year, Davis will have failed to reach 60 games played in five of the last six seasons, missing at least 29 games in back-to-back years.

During his brief tenure with the Mavericks, he appeared in only 29 regular-season games, with the team going 16-13 in those contests, while he missed 54 of a possible 83 games. Despite averaging 20.4 PPG and 11.1 RPG when healthy, Davis' inconsistent availability made him difficult to build around. By moving him, Dallas gains draft capital and financial flexibility as it reshapes its roster around younger talent, including former No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg. The move could also make it less likely that we see Kyrie Irving suit up in a game
