The Dallas Mavericks have officially traded for Kyrie Irving. Now, the jersey number Irving will wear as the newest member of the Mavericks has been revealed.
Irving will wear the No. 2 jersey, per TNT’s Chris Haynes. It’s the same number Mavericks’ head coach Jason Kidd wore with Dallas from 2008-2012.
The Mavericks were desperately searching for a compliment to superstar Luka Doncic. When Irving requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, Dallas pounced at the opportunity. To land Irving, the Mavs traded Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round pick and a pair of second-round picks.
