Irving, 31, is in his 12th year in the NBA and first as a member of the Mavericks franchise. He's averaging 27.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game across 59 appearances with the Nets and Mavs this season (all starts).

Expect Wednesday's matchup between the Mavericks and Kings to go down to the wire, especially with Irving and Doncic now in the lineup. After all, the Mavericks are a half-game back of the Thunder for the final play-in spot and have a lot to play for. But with regard to the question, Is Kyrie Irving playing tonight vs. the Kings, the answer is yes.
