Irving is averaging 24.2 pts, 4.6 rebs, 4.9 asts & 1.2 stls per game, shooting a career-high 41.9% from 3.
Doncic has averages of 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.0 steals per contest while shooting 46.4% from the field and 35.4% from the three-point range in 22 games.
However, he missed a lot of time due to injuries.
Chris Walder responded to Cuban: "Luka Doncic has been hurt and Kyrie Irving will likely be the first choice as an injury replacement. I don’t see what the issue is.
If people don’t watch it’s because it’s been a joke of an event for years now. Not because those two aren’t there."
