According to senior NBA insider Chris B. Haynes, Irving suffered a left knee sprain and will miss the rest of the game. It is unclear Irving's timeline for return, but hopefully for the Mavericks, it's nothing serious as they eye a return to the NBA Finals.
He claims they sorely need a rim-protector to pair with Domantas Sabonis. More than likely ... He was brought to Dallas to be paired alongside Kyrie Irving to build for the future.
Stanford Medicine's Dr. Geoffrey Abrams explained Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis' hamstring injury in an interview with NBC Sports California's Tristi Rodriguez.
Zach LaVine scored 22 points and DeMar DeRozan added 20, each sitting out the fourth quarter, as the Sacramento Kings beat Dallas 122-98.
The run of victories extended to four after the Kings took care of the shorthanded Mavericks, whose season took another disastrous turn when Kyrie Irving’s left leg landed awkwardly on a drive to the basket late in the first quarter.
