🏀Kyrie Irving is headed to Dallas!🏀 DallasMavs struck a deal with the Nets to land Irving, just days after he requested a trade out of Brooklyn.
But Irving played in just 143 games for the Nets over four seasons -- missing time due to injury, a refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine amid New York City's vaccination mandate and a suspension earlier this season after posting a link on social media to an antisemitic film.
The team - which also acquired James Harden, only to trade him to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons - won just one postseason series during Irving's time with the team. The 30-year-old Irving, who was voted an Eastern Conference All-Star starter, is averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists and 5.1 rebounds this season. He is making $36.9 million after opting into the final year of his deal during the offseason but was unable to reach an extension with Brooklyn earlier this week, leading to his trade request.
He now heads to his fourth NBA team, heading to a 28-26 Mavericks team where he'll join forces with another superstar teammate in Luka Doncic.This article tagged under:
