Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving sparked the team’s blowout win over the Spurs on Thursday night with an impressive fourth quarter. It was the Mavs' first win with Doncic and Irving both in the lineup. Kyrie is 3-2 in his first five games with Dallas, but number 77 missed the first two wins with a heel injury.

The two superstars are still trying to figure out how to maximize each other. Fans have seen a bit faster tempo since the blockbuster trade, and Irving solves the team’s issues without Luka on the floor. Dallas should improve every time out as they continue to get more comfortable playing off each other.

The Los Angeles Lakers come to the American Airlines Center on Sunday afternoon for a marquee showdown. Both teams believe they should make the playoffs and have the pieces to make a run. There will be plenty of talk about Kyrie and LeBron potentially joining forces again this summer, but will Irving play in Sunday's contest? Here is a closer look at the Mavs' latest injury report.
