Dallas fell to 36-39 with the loss and is currently in danger of missing the play-in tournament as they sit in 11th place in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<p> They are just 7-13 since acquiring Irving and 6-9 with him in the lineup. More concerningly, the Mavericks are just 3-8 when both Kyrie and co-star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/luka-doncic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Luka Doncic<\/a> suit up. Doncic will miss the next game after picking up his 16th technical foul and receiving an automatic one-game suspension.<\/p>\n<h2>How has Kyrie Irving performed as a Dallas Maverick?<\/h2>\n<p>While the Dallas Mavericks have struggled since acquiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/kyrie-irving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Kyrie Irving<\/a>, he has been as advertised from an individual standpoint. The eight-time All-Star has averaged 27.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting 49.5% from the field, 38.7% from 3-point range and 93.6% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n<p>His numbers have improved slightly from his time with the Brooklyn Nets. In Brooklyn, Irving averaged 27.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game while shooting 48.6% from the field, 37.4% from 3-point range, and 88.3% from the free-throw line across 40 games.<\/p>\n<p>While the Mavericks may be in danger of missing the play-in, Irving appears likely to make his fourth All-NBA Team. The 2015-2016 NBA champion is set to enter free agency this summer where he will look to land a contract north of $200 million.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 8px 21px 0; overflow: visible !important;\">\n<div class=\"bottom-info-container\">\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Caleb Gebrewold<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '952063904834769'); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/news-watch-kyrie-irving-gets-fan-ejected-heckling-mavericks-hornets-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyrie Irving became the latest superstar to have a fan thrown out of a game.
