Kyrie Irving continued his good start to life with the Dallas Mavericks scoring 25 points and 10 assists against the Sacramento Kings.

Irving lead his new team to the third consecutive victory, 114-122, and the second since he landed from Brooklyn. Making it all the more impressive was the fact that Luka Doncic missed the game though he did heap praise on his new teammate.

Irving even improved on his first performance against the Los Angeles Clippers (24 points) looking comfortable, as if he has been playing in Dallas for several seasons.

NBA fans go Gaga as Luka Doncic Jason Kidd opens up that Luka Doncic won’t be returning untill…

“Obviously I will miss Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie,” Doncic said of Irving’s arrival.

“But Kyrie is Kyrie, of course. He’s an NBA champion and probably the best handler the NBA has ever seen is an amazing player and it will be fun to play with him.

“I’ve never played with someone like Kyrie so obviously it will take work, but I take it as a learning process. I think we can play together no problem.

“Except for my first season I’ve never played without having the ball but with someone like that next to me, everything will be different.”

Against the Kings, Irving led the team with a masterful display, putting them up by 24 points and ensuring their victory was never in danger.

“We were connected and understood our roles,” Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said at the end of the game.

While Doncic has missed four games due to a hip injury he seems close to returning. A potential return against the Kings was put off especially now that the Dallas franchise has another star to lean on.
