Preview: Kidd doesn’t want Mavs to solely rely on Dončić and Irving

NEW ORLEANS – One of the things Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd doesn’t want his team to do is to go into games relying heavily on his

superstar backcourt of Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kyrie Irving to be the ones who consistently guide them to a victory.

Kidd believes some of that thought process may have occurred during Tuesday’s 118-99 loss to the Denver Nuggets when Irving returned to the lineup after missing five games with a lumbar back sprain.

“I think the big message is we got healthy, and I think we just took a step back with Kai coming back,” Kidd said.
