Despite missing star players, the Mavericks secure their fourth consecutive win in a nail-biting game against the Trail Blazers, thanks to Doncic's stellar performance.
Luka Doncic scored 30 of his 41 points in the first half, Kyrie Irving added 29 in his second game back from a heel injury and the Dallas Mavericks routed the Portland Trail Blazers 126-97.
The Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets agreed Sunday on a blockbuster trade: Kyrie Irving heading Dallas, putting the end of being paired up with Kevin Durant.
The Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie Irving for at least five games without pay, saying they were dismayed by his failure to “unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs.”
Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, according to a person with direct knowledge of the decision that undoubtedly will have teams scrambling to put together offers for the perennial All-Star.
Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been fined $50,000 for making obscene gestures and directing profane language toward the crowd during Brooklyn’s Game 1 playoff loss to the Celtics.
