Less than two weeks into his tenure with the Mavericks, Kyrie Irving has already tried shutting down questions surrounding his future in Dallas.
, star guard Kyrie Irving already has tried shutting down questions surrounding his future in Dallas.
Irving told reporters ahead of Monday’s game, his first home contest with the Mavericks following a trade from the Nets, that getting asked those types of questions — “What’s the long term? What’s the long term? What is it?” — is “emotionally draining” and “puts unwarranted distractions on us and our team,”It’s something Irving has dealt with before, he added, and he doesn’t want to go through it again.
“Just taking it one day at a time,” Irving later said in his answer. “That’s all I can do in this life. What the future holds is really only gonna be dictated on what I do right now and how I prepare for those next steps. And that’s being the best teammate I can in that locker room, being a great leader out here within the Dallas community, within the NBA, and just continue to be myself and develop.
