Sources: Nets trading star guard Kyrie Irving to Mavericks
The Brooklyn Nets are trading Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday.
The Mavericks are sending Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, a 2027 first-round pick and second-round picks to the Nets in exchange for Irving, sources said.
Irving's tenure in Brooklyn ends after a tumultuous four seasons that included injuries, dozens of missed games due to a refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and a suspension this season for promoting a movie that contained antisemitic themes.
Irving, 30, opted into the final season of his deal before the season but requested a trade last week after failing to reach an agreement with Brooklyn on an extension.
