It was an easy thing to lose in the shuffle of all that has gone on with the Dallas Mavericks in the last month, with each day seeming to bring a new devastating disappointment, but Monday night's injury to star guard Kyrie Irving was not the only tough break for the team on the evening.

The Dallas Mavericks were defeated by a final score of 122-98 by the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. It was a contest that featured no shortage of injury trouble. Kyrie Irving left in the first quarter with a left knee sprain and did not return.
