For Mavs vs Nuggets (9p, BSSW), the Mavs are now listing Kyrie Irving (left foot sprain, out last two games) as available. Maxi Kleber is out, dislocated right small toe. First game of West Group B in the NBA’s In-Season Tournament. Mavs are 1 of just 2 undefeated teams remaining – 4:46 PM

Irving looks pretty good to me. Fortunately for the Mavs, Doncic is the long-range trick-shot specialist. Around the basket, no one better than Irving. pic.twitter.com/POac6xhbda – 1:45 PM

I am grateful everyday that GOD put me through all of those tests over the past few years. I was called everything under the sun, as I attempted to bring light to the atrocities/tragedies happening around the world.
I still have more work to do.

Mavs pull it out 114-105.
First clutch loss of the season for the Bulls. That’s a frustrating one – nearly stole one on the road with Kyrie Irving out for the Mavs.
LaVine led scoring with 22 points but only scored five in the second half. – 10:47 PM

Asked Lawrence Frank how he sees James Harden enhancing/fitting in with Kawhi, PG and Russ and Frank said the Clippers looked at the time Harden spent in Brooklyn playing alongside KD and Kyrie — albeit short amount of time — and how Harden also adjusted as playmaker with Embiid – 8:26 PM

Was going to move the Bulls to bum-team alert tonight – their first of the season – but without Kyrie, they will avoid that designation. Saturday in Denver, however, forget bum-team alert, the Bulls could be put on bum-ass team alert. Stay tuned … situation is fluid. – 7:29 PM

Kyrie Irving (left foot sprain) is expected to miss his second straight game for Dallas when the Mavericks play host to Chicago tonight. Irving’s status was officially downgraded to doubtful earlier today.

Kyrie Irving downgraded to doubtful tonight.
Zach LaVine is probable, said he was good to go this morning. Back injury happened during a collision with Poeltl in the Raptors game. He’s been using heat packs a lot this week, but he’s still not worried about it long term. – 5:57 PM

Brad Townsend: Kyrie Irving is going through shootaround and there’s optimism that he’ll play tonight, but, remember, he went through shootaround in Memphis and later was downgraded to questionable, then doubtful, then out. Much will depend on how his sprain left foot feels after the workout. -via Twitter @townbrad / November 3, 2023
Vinny Benedetto: Nikola Jokic (low back pain), Jamal Murray (right quad contusion) and Christian Braun (right shin strain) are all listed as probable for tomorrow’s game against Dallas. Kyrie Irving (left foot sprain) and Maxi Kleber (right small toe dislocation) are questionable for the Mavs. -via Twitter @VBenedetto / November 2, 2023
