SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Dallas guard Kyrie Irving sat out the Mavericks’ game Thursday night against the Utah Jazz because of a strained right shoulder. Irving is averaging 25.2 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 11 games this season. He’s shooting 54.5% from the field and 54.1% from 3-point range.

The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz will go head-to-head on Thursday night, but the Mavs received a concerning update before the game. Luka Doncic (right knee contusion) and PJ Washington (right knee sprain) were already among the Mavericks on the NBA injury report.

As Luka Doncic battles efficiency issues, the Mavericks must address stagnant late-game offense to capitalize on their superstar’s talents in critical moments.
