Magic Starting 5: Kyrie Irving Trade Shakes Up NBA

1. NETS TRADE KYRIE IRVING TO MAVS

Kyrie Irving is on the move.

Just two days after publicly requesting a trade from the Nets, the team has dealt him to the Dallas Mavericks for Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, a 2029 first-round pick and multiple second-round selections.

Irving will now team up with Luka Doncic as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

2. MAGIC BEAT HORNETS IN SUNDAY MATINEE

"The game was tied at 97 with just under eight minutes to go, but a 9-2 run put the Magic ahead until the final whistle."

3. STEPH CURRY OUT FOR 'MULTIPLE WEEKS'

The Golden State Warriors will be without their two-time MVP Stephen Curry for a bit.

The Athletic is reporting that Curry will miss "multiple weeks" with a left leg injury.

Curry is averaging 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists this season as the Warriors are fighting to remain in the Western Conference playoff picture.

4. MAGIC PREPARED TO PAY FRED VANVLEET?

"You're hearing a lot of murmurs about 'Hey, the Orlando Magic are willing to throw a lot of money his way this summer," MacMahon said on the Hoop Collective Podcast. "And they don't need help in a sign-and-trade. They have cap space."

5. NEXT MAGIC GAME

The Magic will return to the court tomorrow night against the New York Knicks at 7:00 p.m. You can watch in-market on Bally Sports Florida or out-of-market on NBA League Pass.
