Kyrie Irving — a gifted NBA guard who couldn’t escape controversy during his tenure with the Brooklyn Nets — was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN reported.

The deal came days after Irving sought a trade from the Nets and months after he promoted a film that Joe Tsai, the Nets’s owner, said was “based on a book full of antisemitic disinformation.”
