Not only is Doncic […]

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving practiced Monday, head coach Jason Kidd told reporters. “Yeah, Kyrie was fine. Went through everything today,” Kidd said.

The Dallas Mavericks have had a pretty solid start to the season, but losing to the downtrodden Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night 108-94 wasn’t exactly a great look. With Luka Doncic and Tim Hardaway Jr. both missing in action, the Mavs struggled to replace their lost production, leading to an honest reaction from head coach […]

The Dallas Mavericks were without Luka Doncic in their Friday night battle against the Memphis Grizzlies, so naturally, the onus to lead the offense fell to the capable hands of Kyrie Irving.

A huge knock on the early 2020s Dallas Mavericks has always been their consistency on defense. They usually resort to letting Luka Doncic move the ball and score a bunch of their points.

The Dallas Mavericks are starting to backslide after coming off a blazing start to the season.

Luka Doncic is out of this world. The Dallas Mavericks star balled out during their game against the Brooklyn Nets. Doncic dropped an absurd 49 points on ridiculously efficient shooting (16-for-25 from the field and 9-for-14 on three-point shots). He added 10 rebounds and seven assists for good measure. Some of the shots he made […]

The Dallas Mavericks biggest goal of the offseason was re-signing Kyrie Irving which they managed to do.
