The Dallas Mavericks nightmare season hit another brutal low Monday night when Kyrie Irving tore his ACL in a loss to the Sacramento Kings. His season is now over and so are any hopes of the franchise making a playoff run like it did last year, which saw the Mavs advance to the NBA Finals.
This all comes just over a month after the team's GM, Nico Harrison, traded star guard Luka Doncic to the Lakers in return for Anthony Davis. That was a stunning move because Doncic, at age 25, was the face of the franchise and the type of young player that franchises would want to center your team around for years to come.
