The Brooklyn Nets reportedly have traded Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, ending the star guard's tumultuous four-season stay with the team.
The trade, which comes just two days after Irving requested to be dealt ahead of the NBA's trade deadline on Thursday, brings an end to Irving's tumultuous four-season tenure in Brooklyn.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
Irving and Kevin Durant stunned the league in July of 2019 by agreeing to deals with the Nets on the first day of free agency. But Irving played in just 143 games for the Nets over four seasons -- missing time due to injury, a refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine amid New York City's vaccination mandate and a suspension earlier this season after posting a link on social media to an antisemitic film.
The team - which also acquired James Harden, only to trade him to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons - won just one postseason series during Irving's time with the team.
