Dallas Mavericks, Doncic: “The difference with last series against the Clippers? Kyrie Irving”

The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA Playoffs in what is shaping up to be one of the league’s all-time great series. In fact, these two teams have already met in the postseason in 2020 and 2021, with the Clippers winning both series. Luka Doncic was then asked what the difference is between the upcoming playoff series and those played in the past, the Slovenian’s answer was dry: “We have Kai,” meaning “We have Kyrie.”

This is a testament to Doncic’s high regard and trust in Kyrie Irving, who averaged 25.6 points, 5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game during the regular season.
