Forget whether or not the Dallas Mavericks should bring Anthony Davis back this season. The 32-year-old star, acquired in the still-mind-boggling Luka Donćić trade, is making his return to the floor on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, per multiple reports.

Davis hasn't played — and had been listed as out — since injuring his left groin during his Dallas debut on Feb. 8.

Anthony Davis played only 24 minutes in his long-delayed second game with the Dallas Mavericks, but his presence helped the Mavericks' defense. As did playing the Brooklyn Nets.
