In 95 previous NBA games, Kai Jones’ career high was 12 points for Charlotte against OKC on March 28, 2023.
Tonight he has 13 points in 16 first-half minutes. It’s only the 5th double-digit scoring game of his career. – 9:45 PM

Kai Jones has looked really solid for Dallas. 9 points and 3 rebounds. Super active. – 9:28 PM

When he hurt his lower leg in Portland last December, yet stayed on the court to shoot the free throws on basically one leg, Kyrie Irving would miss the next 12 games. Looked to be in even more pain tonight, but was determined to shoot those free-throws. – 9:22 PM

Said on the #NBAStrategyStream I’m hopeful it’s a hyperextended knee and bone bruise for Kyrie, rather than something more serious. – 9:20 PM

Here’s a clip of Kyrie landing awkwardly on his left leg. Immediately signaled for medical attention. Mavericks are calling it a left knee sprain. pic.x.com/YoDQ5h6IAk – 9:17 PM

Kings lead 27-24 after 1Q in Dallas. They let off the gas a bit after the Kyrie Irving injury. Keegan Murray leads with 8 points. 6 points and 4 rebounds for Valanciunas. – 9:10 PM

Mavericks are more concerned with Kyrie Irving, but they are only down 27-24 after a quarter, despite Irving’s departure with an apparent left leg injury. Banding together will be more important than ever the rest of the way. – 9:10 PM

Kyrie Irving, unable to put any weight on his left leg, was about to be escorted to the locker room. He then remained in the game to shoot his free throws. He pointed to the sky before making both. Another brutal injury for the Mavs. pic.x.com/R4CesCdIZo – 9:10 PM

I get someone from the bench can’t come out onto the floor before a timeout but that’s a weak tech. People were coming to help Kyrie off the floor. Just tell him to go back and wait for the foul/timeout. No need to call a tech there. – 9:06 PM

Kyrie Irving makes his two free throws with 2:35 left in the first quarter, then exits the court. Anthony Davis is one of the players helping him off. – 9:05 PM

Irving did this in Portland last year. If he doesn’t shoot the free-throws he can’t re-enter the game, as unlikely as that would seem given his pain level. – 9:04 PM

Kai Jones spoke for the first time since joining the Mavs on a two-way contract. He was asked about the likelihood of a Kai (Irving) to Kai alley-oop.
“High. More than likely.” pic.x.com/FNxPjOAh2c – 8:19 PM

Jason Kidd on Kai Jones: He’ll get an opportunity tonight. “He’s someone who has played in NBA games and has the experience.” Jones has 12 available games left under his two-way status. – 6:47 PM
