Is Kyrie Irving playing tonight? Latest updates for Mavericks at Kings on Feb. 10

The Dallas Mavericks wanted a second star to pair with Luka Doncic, so they pulled off a blockbuster trade for Kyrie Irving. The eight-time All-Star is having one of the best seasons of his career, and he is eager to dominate in Dallas as he heads into free agency this summer.

Irving helped the Mavs defeat the LA Clippers on Wednesday night in his debut. The 6’2 guard was fantastic, despite having just one practice with his new teammates. Kyrie is still waiting for his first game with Luka Doncic, as the 23-year-old superstar has missed three straight contests with a heel injury.

Will Irving play on Friday night in Sacramento? Are fans going to be treated to the first game with Luka and Kyrie sharing the floor? Here is a closer look.
