While they remain on three consecutive defeats, and even 9 losses in their last 12 games, the Mavericks have fallen into the negative (34-35) to only point to 9th place in the Western Conference.
Given that Utah (33-36) and New Orleans (33-36) are right behind, every game is important to not get out of the Top 10. The problem is that Jason Kidd will still have to do tonight in San Antonio, without his two offensive locomotives: Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, whose foot injury is more troublesome than expected.
“We’ll see, but it doesn’t smell good” explained the former Nets about his participation in the game against Spurs. “This foot injury is going to take a little longer than expected. It is obvious that I manage it day by day, but we have to wait a little longer. »
It was against the Pelicans that Kyrie Irving felt something abnormal.
“It’s at the level of the big toe, at the level of the sole of the foot. I took a wrong step in New Orleans and felt like my joints were splitting. I just wanted to be careful at this stage of the season. I live on my feet, so I’d rather deal with them now than when I’m 40. »
If he is absent tonight, the point guard would miss his third consecutive game, and with the combined absence of Luka Doncic, it is obviously an unfortunate setback for the Mavericks.
“We would like to be on the pitch, myself included. But we must first take care of ourselves and then try to make an effort at the end of the season.” he concludes.
