Mavericks Expected To Talk Trading 10th Pick

The Mavericks are in win-now mode, they don’t want to settle on development and hoping a player turns out.

Instead, Dallas wants to use the 10th pick to get a win-now player (or players) to pair with Luka Doncic and a potentially re-signed Kyrie Irving.

Dallas was fortunate during the NBA Draft Lottery to secure the 10th pick, because if they didn’t get the pick between 1-10 then they had to give it up to the New York Knicks.

The reason why the Knicks almost had their pick was from the Kristaps Porzingis trade made between them and New York.

Kyrie Irving (Back) Is Out For 1-2 Weeks

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks will be without their second superstar due to him suffering a bulging disk in his back.

Dallas does have optimism that Kyrie Irving can have a precise return date after a couple of days of treatment.

Right now, Irving is set to miss 1-2 weeks due to this new injury.

Initially, the 32-year-old was listed with a lumbar sprain in his back; that was his listed injury as to why he is missing Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

In 30 games this season, Irving averages 24.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists.

Luka Doncic To Miss Time With Calf Strain

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks are bracing for the reality of missing their star player for an extended period.

Luka Doncic had an early exit in their Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves after suffering a calf injury in the first half. Once he went to the locker room, he never returned.

The 25-year-old left the arena in crutches, as it’s expected he completes an MRI Thursday.

Earlier in October, Doncic had a contusion on the same calf. This has been a reoccurring injury for some points in his career.

Doncic has played in 22 of the 30 available games for Dallas this season.
