Southwest Notes: Irving, Flagg, Wembanyama, Pelicans
The Mavericks sit in ninth place in the West heading into Wednesday’s slate of games, having won three straight to push their record to 7-4.
A big part of their recent success has been the play of star point guard Kyrie Irving. After scoring 20 or more points once in his first four games, he has averaged 26.8 points and 4.8 assists on .485/.442/.864 shooting splits over his last five contests.
The veteran guard knows that he is likely to be one of the hottest names on the trade market this season, but he recently spoke to the team on the subject and implored the players not to let outside noise distract them from their collective goals, Grant Afseth writes for the Dallas Sports Journal.
