Kyrie Irving is officially joining Luka Doncic and the rest of the Mavs, and could make his debut Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
DALLAS — Luka Doncic has his co-star, and the Dallas Mavericks are set for their season essentially to start over after trading for Kyrie Irving.
The West has several title-contending teams beyond defending champion Golden State, which eliminated the Mavs in the conference finals last season Doncic is in a dead heat for the scoring lead with fellow MVP candidate Joel Embiid of Philadelphia, and is the only one of the seven current 30-point scorers also averaging at least eight rebounds and eight assists per game. Irving is averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists and 5.1 rebounds.
Jalen Brunson was crucial to Dallas' playoff run alongside Doncic last season, but decided he wanted his own starting role as a point guard and left for the New York Knicks in free agency. Injuries sidelined defensive specialists Finney-Smith and Josh Green for a few weeks, and rim protector Maxi Kleber joined them there after tearing a hamstring. Kleber could be near a return.
