Kyrie Irving knee injury latest blow, makes Luka Doncic trade look even worse
The optics of trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers look bad enough.
The reality is even worse in early March as the NBA playoffs approach.
As the Lakers rise in the Western Conference standings (tied for second) and their legitimate ability to win the conference comes into focus, the Mavericks’ fall in the standings is being compounded by injury after injury.
Kyrie Irving is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee, an injury sustained in Dallas’ 122-98 loss to Sacramento on Monday.
Anthony Davis is out - has been since the third quarter of his very first game in a Dallas uniform. So are Daniel Gafford, P.J. Washington, Dereck Lively II and Caleb Martin. Irving was the one player providing elite performances and keeping the Mavs in the postseason race.
