House hunting in Dallas has been a struggle for Anthony Davis.

In an interview with Marc J. Spears of Andscape, Davis revealed he has yet to find a home since being traded to Dallas and is worried it could take him several years to settle there like it did for former Mavs star Luka Doncic.

"The only thing I'm not happy about is that I can't find a damn house in Dallas," Davis said when asked what's been the toughest adjustment for him. "I've been looking since I got there, and I can't find the house. So, me and the wife trying to figure everything out, but actually Luka told me it took him two to three years to find a house. So, I'm not trying to wait two or three years. I got kids."

The Los Angeles Lakers traded Davis to the Mavs in early February in exchange for a package that included Doncic. Davis is set to play against his former team for the first time since the trade on April 9.

"When it gets there, as it gets closer to April 9, (my ex-Lakers teammates) will be hitting me, man, 'Let us come to the house, let's hang.' I ain't got no house to take them to," Davis said.

The 10-time All-Star added: "I know it will be an emotional game just because Luka is coming back, and everybody in Dallas still loves him."

Davis is averaging 24.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game this season.
