The Dallas Mavericks are hoping to keep their season alive after trading Luka Doncic just to get hit by an injury bug that sidelined every center on the roster and multiple frontcourt players.

Irving’s whatever-it-takes mentality has trickled down to the rest of the team, winners of four of its last five games.

The Dallas Mavericks surprised everybody by trading megastar Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris in a three-team swap with the Lakers and Jazz, bringing Anthony Davis and Max Christie to Dallas. It seemed the Mavericks kept everybody in the dark as they worked to make this move, including their other superstar.
