Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving left in the second quarter of Friday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after teammate Dwight Powell took a hard fall on Irving’s right foot. Head coach Jason Kidd did not have further details about Irving’s injury after the Mavs’ 125-112 win, saying only that they would know more Saturday. The injury occurred after Irving was fouled on a drive to the basket with 3:51 left in the half. As Irving fell to the ground, Powell leaped for the loose ball and took an awkward fall backward, landing on Irving’s foot.

Hardaway says the team was happy and relieved when they returned to the locker room and Irving was there to greet them. “He was in great spirits. Hopefully he won’t be out long.” – 12:52 AM

Mavericks go to the fourth with a 97-90 lead. Still no update on Kyrie Irving. Dante Exum doing his best to take up the slack with 20 points, six rebounds and five assists through three. – 11:57 PM

Mavericks up 71-60 at the break. Luka with 21 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. with 10. Kyrie Irving had 11 before limping to the locker room. Shaedon Sharpe with 16 for the Blazers. Mavericks uncharacteristically with nine first half turnovers. – 11:17 PM

Kyrie Irving’s apparent leg injury not a good sign for Mavericks, who are not deep. We’ll see if the Blazers can get back in this one. – 11:09 PM

Irving trying to walk it off, trying to stay in game to shoot the free-throws. Otherwise he’d have to stay out of the game for good. pic.twitter.com/YUbtlfesAG – 11:08 PM
