Wins have been few and far between for Dallas over the past several weeks, as the Mavericks have lost five of six games to tumble all the way out of the play-in spots in the Western Conference. Irving added: "So it's been good - outside of the losses, of course. So, I'm appreciative of them giving me the opportunity. "I just have to be at peace with where I am and which I am, and trust of the guys that I'm going to be in that war room with every single day.

Irving, speaking after Wednesday night's 116-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center, said the major question he has now is what does the Mavs' future look like? PHILADELPHIA - After the Dallas Mavericks lost for the 14th time in 20 games since Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic took the court as teammates, Irving said this was far from where he expected the team to be when he arrived in Dallas almost two months ago.
