The Dallas Mavericks are about to make a spectacular signing in the NBA. According to consistent US media reports, the Texans are bringing top star Kyrie Irving to their leader Luka Doncic in a barter deal.
Controversial NBA superstar Kyrie Irving is set to make a move from the Brooklyn Nets to the Dallas Mavericks. The US media report unanimously. Irving recently asked his club to hand him over to another club within the professional basketball league. Now the wish of the 30-year-old is apparently being fulfilled. In exchange for Irving, Brooklyn will receive Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, one first-round and two second-round draft picks. The big question that remains is how Irving and Mavericks star Luka Doncic will get along. Both play in the point guard position.
Maxi Kleber, currently an injured German international in the service of the Mavericks, has to deal with a new teammate that is not exactly easy. Irving has made headlines in recent years. The seven-time Allstar refused to have the corona vaccination carried out and therefore missed a whole series of games due to the applicable regulations. At the end of last year, Irving then shared a link to a film with clearly anti-Semitic content on social media. The Nets temporarily suspended their professional, he lost his multi-million dollar sponsorship contract with the sporting goods multinational Nike.
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors worry about their superstar Stephen Curry. The four-time NBA champion is likely to be out for a few more weeks due to injury. As the Warriors announced, the superstar suffered a bruised lower leg and partial tears in an interosseous membrane and a tibiofibular ligament in the 119:113 win against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. Curry will definitely miss the Warriors' encounter with Oklahoma City Thunder, with Golden State planning to provide more information regarding a return "in the coming days."
Against Dallas, Curry left the game in the third quarter after his knee collided with Mavericks pro McKinley Wright's. Up to this point, Curry had scored 21 points for the champion. It is Curry's second injury break of the current season. In mid-December, he suffered a partial dislocation of his right shoulder and missed 11 games with the Warriors. With just 27 wins from 53 games, defending champions Golden State are lagging behind their own claims.
