The basketball world convened at the historic arena where Kyrie Irving etched his name into NBA Finals lore, offering an opportunity for the Dallas Mavericks superstar to reflect on his journey. Oakland Arena – formerly known as Oracle Arena – was the stage for one of the most pivotal shots in NBA history.

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.

The Dallas Mavericks played their second game without Luka Doncic on Tuesday evening, falling 118-116 to the Philadelphia 76ers. The contest marked the first appearance for Mavericks star Kyrie Irving since Doncic was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving finished with game-high 34 points, nine rebounds four assists, one steal, and one block.
