Kyrie Irving struggles amid LeBron reunion

While LeBron had a dominant night against the Mavs, Kyrie Irving struggled to get anything going for him. Uncle Drew scored only 12 points in tonight’s game, one of his lowest-scoring games of the season. It was surprising to see Kyrie struggle against his former teammate, as he has been in great form all season. Kyrie went off for 42 points in the last game against the Pelicans and had five consecutive 30+ point games heading into tonight’s clash against the Lakers.

This is the first season since Kyrie left the shadow of LeBron James and he is playing without any drama. He has bounced from one team to another after leaving Cleveland. But it looks like Kyrie has finally found a home in Dallas. With the way Kyrie has been playing in Dallas, the highly anticipated reunion of LeBron and Kyrie in the future seems unlikely, unless something goes horribly wrong in the foreseeable future..
