“Amidst a streak that could make even a well-stocked pharmacy jealous, the Mavericks have been hobbling along, literally. Tim Cato from The Athletic points out the health history, or lack thereof, of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, who’ve apparently had more ‘sick days’ than a pair of truant teenagers.
To add some spice to the soup of injuries, the Mavs went shopping at the NBA’s trade mart, bagging P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford, hoping they come with a warranty. Now, Coach Jason Kidd’s got more lineup puzzles than a Rubik’s Cube convention.
‘We’re so deep, we might find Nemo down there,’ Kidd joked, probably. ‘This is uncharted territory for the Mavs.’
Apart from the usual suspects of Doncic and Irving, along with their new teammates, Dereck ‘Dunk Master’ Lively, Josh ‘Slam Dunk’ Green, and Derrick ‘Airborne’ Jones Jr. are all making waves. So much for a healthy season!”
