Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving came out charging in his Dallas debut, keying a big run to open the game and sparking his new teammates in front of a cheering Luka Doncic.

We just tried to understand each other a lot better and grow as human beings, grow as brothers. Irving had four rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes of what amounted to a dress rehearsal before Doncic returns to give the Mavs a powerhouse backcourt. There was still a level of uncertainty, but we just cared about seeing each other be places that we can thrive – whether that be together, whether that be apart. He was part of a 13-0 spurt early in the game, scoring eight points on a jumper and back-to-back three-pointers. “The comfort level he feels with us, you could see it in the game. It’s the first time I ever got traded in the middle of the season, so it was new for me, but I’m excited that I’m here.”

Irving acknowledged that they did not play much together due to injuries, but believes everything happens for a reason, and is now thankful to be in Dallas with Luka Doncic. Irving had been playing in his Mavericks debut when he became aware of the news, and was asked about the trade after the game. Then during the season, Irving demanded a trade request after being unhappy with his situation, stating that he did not feel respected, and was ultimately dealt to the Dallas Mavericks.

Kyrie Irving is relishing the prospect of teaming up with Luka Doncic, and his first game with the Mavericks pointed to a positive future.

Kyrie Irving has blasted Brooklyn Nets after trade of Kevin Durant to Phoenix Suns.

[Brooklyn Nets](/topic/brooklyn-nets)made a deal to send Kevin [Durant](/topic/durant)to the [Phoenix Suns](/topic/phoenix-suns)shortly after his departure has revealed a lot. The Brooklyn Nets have had a difficult time in recent years, a franchise in dire need of success after assembling two 'super-teams' that have been huge disappointments. Irving spoke about the 'super-team' he formed with Durant and James Harden, who was also traded away following a tumultuous period with the team. As a result, Durant was traded to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, and in both moves, the Nets obtained several first-round draft picks and young players. During his first game with the Mavericks, Irving learned of Durant's trade, and was later questioned about it after the game. However, what transpired were several years of disappointment, as both players battled with injuries, particularly Irving who missed a substantial amount of time, and the team was plagued by high-profile trade failures.

In Kyrie Irving's mind, setting ablaze the fabric of the Nets was beyond his control. In reality, Brooklyn's gravest mistake was holding Irving accountable.
