Jason Kidd said an 'organizational decision' was made to limit Luka Doncic to the first quarter while sitting Kyrie Irving and four other regulars.
ESPN's college basketball analyst isn't denying that Bronny has talent— but he doesn't believe he would be getting this much hype if he wasn't LeBron James' son.DALLAS – Kyrie Irving had a seat next to Dallas owner Mark Cuban, and fellow All-Star Luka Doncic wasn’t far away in sweats after his limited duty was finished.
Despite the move, the Mavericks led by double digits in the second half before a rag-tag bunch filled mostly with players who spent the season on the end of the Dallas bench slowly let the lead slip away. Irving was out for right foot injury recovery. The others sitting with him were Tim Hardaway Jr. with left ankle soreness, Maxi Kleber for right hamstring injury recovery and Josh Green and Christian Wood for rest.
The move to sit the other three highest scorers for the Mavs in apparent attempt to lose almost didn’t work either. McKinley Wright IV’s layup got Dallas within a point with 39 seconds left before Dalen Terry scored on an alley-oop dunk from White with 23 to go.
