Irving scored 24 points on 11-of-14 shooting before halftime, aiding the Mavs in a 108-105 win over the Timberwolves. Doncic acknowledged Irving's impact, stating, 'We probably would be down 20 if he wouldn't have scored that many points.'
Despite Irving's past controversies, the Mavericks took a risk by trading for him in February 2023. However, he has seamlessly adapted to play alongside Doncic as a strong second option and crucial scorer.
