This Wednesday, the Dallas Mavericks, significantly weakened by player losses, will face the Milwaukee Bucks with only eight players, following Kyrie Irving’s season-ending knee injury.

Despite the challenges, Mavericks’ head coach Jason Kidd is approaching the situation with a business-as-usual attitude.

Ahead of the game, Kidd discussed the setbacks due to injuries and emphasized his determination to lead the team to victory without making any excuses. With only eight players, including the absence of stars like Irving and Anthony Davis, the team’s strategy must adapt, but Kidd’s focus remains unwavering.

“Despite missing Kai and his leadership, we must concentrate on tonight’s game in Milwaukee. We have eight players ready to play, and our goal is to secure a win,” Kidd stated.

“Nobody is going to pity us; this is strictly business. We have responsibilities, and our duty is to perform on the court,” he added.

In addition to Irving and Davis, the Mavericks are also missing Jaden Hardy, Dereck Lively, Daniel Gafford, Dante Exum, P.J. Washington, and Caleb Martin. Additionally, Kai Jones’s participation remains uncertain.

Kidd is not seeking sympathy but is ready to give other players increased roles and opportunities as the Mavericks navigate the remaining 20 games of the regular season.
