The Dallas Mavericks may be without multiple key players in Saturday night's game against the Detroit Pistons.

A rocky start for the Dallas Mavericks shouldn’t surprise anyone. A team that was beat up and dejected to finish last season, recovering from injury, trying to reconnect the remaining pieces, adding a number one pick into the fold, all while missing your star guard with no reasonable back up? Yes, I’m shocked they’ve had trouble scoring.

Mavericks fans aren't too happy to see Luka Doncic soar while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. Doncic was traded last year from Dallas.

The Mavericks rookie had an impressive third game in the NBA, as he led the Mavs to their first win of the season.

The Mavericks utilized him as such in preseason, and to begin the regular season, they are doing the same. However, things have not gone as well as they expected, and it has led to a three-time NBA champion sending a message to the Mavericks about what they should do with Flagg before it is too late.

Cooper Flagg is starting to settle in during his first season with the Mavericks, and D'angelo Russell is putting the NBA on notice.
