Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving will play against Jazz following 12-game absence

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:29 GMT

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Kyrie Irving returned to action for the Dallas Mavericks against the Utah Jazz on Monday night after missing 12 games with a bruised right heel. Irving had been sidelined since injuring his heel against Portland on Dec. 8, and the Mavericks went 6-6 during his absence.Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Irving will not be facing a minutes restriction. The plan is to get him reacclimated to his normal routine enough to ease the load Luka Doncic has carried without Irving.Doncic is averaging 37.1 minutes per game this season – nearly three minutes more than his career average.“That helps when you have (Irving) back and you get more bodies back,” Kidd said. “We would like to get (Doncic’s) minutes down, but if you ask him, he’s fine where he’s at. So we’ll figure it out.”Irving is averaging 23.0 points and 5.2 assists through 17 games this season. He has struggled to stay healthy, missing a total of 16 games so far due to various ailments. Before injuring his he...

Elvis, fishmongers and a Kraken win in a nautical scene for the NHL Winter Classic

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:29 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — The part-owner of the franchise who was once more known for his exploits on the football field led the way off the bus, followed by players clad in white T-shirts and orange overalls as a tribute to the fishmongers working across town at Pike Place Market.A few minutes later, a gaggle of Elvises – or would it be Elvi? – strode their way into the stadium in white jumpsuits, sunglasses and mostly fake hair.“Believe it or not, Paul Cotter didn’t even wear a wig. That’s just naturally his hair,” Vegas’ Keegan Kolesar said. “So he was pretty spot on.”The 15th version of the NHL Winter Classic had a decidedly local flair as both the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights tapped into two of the most well-known aspects of their communities.Eventually, the theatrics were replaced by actual hockey. Playing in front of a sellout crowd of 47,313, the Kraken posted a 3-0 victory, with Joey Daccord posting the first shutout in a Winter Classic. “Just to walk out to the ice like th...
