Luka Doncic has his co\u002Dstar, and the Dallas Mavericks are set for their season essentially to start over after trading for Kyrie Irving.
It’s unknown if Doncic will be available against the Clippers. He wasn’t with the Mavs at the start of a five-game trip out West after bruising his right heel in the final home game before the trip. He was ruled out of the second game on the trip at Utah on Monday night.
The Nets hardly even said goodbye, perhaps fed up from all the drama Irving caused in just 3 1/2 seasons. But they never got close, and when Irving asked to be traded, just like he once did in Cleveland, the Nets quickly accommodated him. That was one of many drama-filled sagas that marked Irving’s time with the Nets. He wouldn’t get vaccinated against COVID-19 and, because of New York City workplace rules, had to miss most of Brooklyn’s home games last season. He also took two leaves of absence during the 2020-21 season.Article content
