Mavericks Weighing Shutdown of Doncic and Irving for Rest of Season

The Dallas Mavericks are considering shutting down Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving for the rest of the season due to injuries and the team's poor performance. The Mavericks owe a top-10 protected pick to the Knicks as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade, and keeping the pick this year would push back the obligation until 2024. Despite the team's struggles, the Mavericks' top offseason priority will be re-signing Irving, who plans to wait until free agency to maximize his potential earnings.
