Kyrie Irving scored 23 points to lead the Dallas Mavericks past visiting Utah in a 110-102 victory on Monday night in a game marred by an injury to Jazz power forward Taylor Hendricks.
Hendricks, a 6-foot-9 Jazz forward, suffered a fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle midway through the third period, the Jazz announced Monday night. He slipped while moving toward the post on offense with his right leg bending awkwardly under his body. Officials delayed the game for several minutes as staff from both teams tended to the ninth overall pick in the 2023 draft before he left the court on a stretcher
He wound up with two points and three rebounds in 21 minutes, and he is averaging 2.7 points and five rebounds per game this season.
Six Dallas players finished with at least 10 points on Monday and several role players stood out at key points
