DALLAS—Anthony Davis left in the third quarter with a lower-body injury and didn’t return in his debut with the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday after the seismic trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Davis went down without contact and was grabbing his groin area in Dallas’ 116-105 victory over the Houston Rockets. He was listed as doubtful to return and didn’t play again in the first home game for the Mavs since the trade.
