Is Kyrie Irving playing tonight? Get the injury updates for Mavericks vs Pacers

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving had arguably his worst game with his new team on Sunday afternoon. The Mavs blew a 27-point lead in a loss to the Lakers. Irving had a 21-point double-double, but he made just eight of his 22 field goal attempts, including two of ten from 3-point range. It was a forgettable night for the entire team as they inexcusably lost a crucial game.

The Mavericks face the Indiana Pacers for the first time this season on Feb. 28, but Irving played them three times when he was still with the Nets. The eight-time All-Star scored 20-plus in all three games, including a 35-point explosion back in October.
