Nets trade Kyrie Irving to Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith
The Brooklyn Nets have met the trade demands of All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, agreeing to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, people from across the NBA not authorized to speak publicly have confirmed to The Times.
Dallas will send guard Spencer Dinwiddie, forward Dorian Finney-Smith and draft picks, including a first-round selection in 2029, to Brooklyn, which is currently fourth in the Eastern Conference standings at 32-20.
The Nets have been without All-Star forward Kevin Durant for nearly a month. He has not played since Jan. 8 because of a right knee injury.
Among other teams who had trade talks with the Nets for Irving were the Lakers, Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat.
Irving will join All-Star guard Luka Doncic in Dallas, which is 28-26 and in sixth place in the Western Conference standings.
Doncic missed the Mavericks’ game at Golden State on Saturday night because of a heel injury he sustained Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Doncic is reportedly not expected to play Monday in Utah. Dallas plays the Clippers on Wednesday at Crypto.com Arena. It is unclear if Irving will be with the Mavericks at that time.
