What numbers will Anthony Davis and Max Christie wear with the Dallas Mavericks?
Following the surprising trade that sent Luka Dončić, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis and Max Christie have officially joined the Dallas Mavericks roster. Their jersey numbers have been confirmed, alongside other details like their measurements. Max Christie, who will wear No. 00, is listed at 6’5″ and 190 pounds. This season, Christie achieved career highs with averages of 8.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 44.4% from the field and 36.8% from beyond the arc in 46 games, including 25 starts for the Lakers. The last players to wear No. 00 for the Mavericks were Brandon Williams in the previous season (who later switched to No. 10), JaVale McGee in 2022-23, and Eric Montross in the 1996-97 season.
Anthony Davis, now with the Mavericks, will wear No. 3 and is listed at 6’10” and 253 pounds. He has been posting impressive numbers, with averages of 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.1 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 52.8% from the floor and 29.8% from three in 42 games for the Lakers this season. Notable Mavericks players who wore No. 3 include Nerlens Noel, Rodrigue Beaubois, Trey Burke, and Grant Williams.
The Mavericks still have an open roster spot after the trade, which could be used to sign another player or bring in an additional player via another trade before Thursday’s trade deadline. They are in need of adding another ball-handling guard, as Kyrie Irving will likely shoulder a heavy load, and Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy may not be reliable playoff options.
