Kyrie’s record with the Mavs since joining from the Nets
Dallas achieved a record of 5 wins and 11 losses while fielding a lineup consisting of Irving and the highly talented Luka Doncic. However, the team’s performance was hindered by the absence of both players due to injuries during the latter part of the season.
Irving, who is 30 years old, provided an average performance of 27 points, six assists, five rebounds, and 1.3 steals across a span of 20 games while playing for the Mavericks. The Dallas team failed to qualify for the postseason, concluding their season with a record of 38 wins and 44 losses.
The team successfully procured the services of two rookie players during the draft, specifically center Dereck Lively and forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper, to bolster their defensive capabilities.
