The Dallas Mavericks are backtracking this week amid the recent controversy over Luka Doncic seemingly being edited out of a hype video.

Finishing with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists, the former Maverick demonstrated to the world exactly what Dallas traded away, especially in the wake of Davis' long-term injury. Doncic also recorded four steals – as embattled Mavericks GM Nico Harrison said of the trade, "defense wins championships."

Kyrie Irving dropped an honest Luka Doncic admission before the upcoming Mavericks-Lakers game on Tuesday night.
