Kylor Kelley spoke to reporters before the Dallas Mavericks' game on Monday night against the Washington Wizards.

The Dallas Mavericks opened a five-game Eastern Conference road trip with a Wednesday night game against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center.

P.J. Washington scored 25 points, making all four of his 3-point attempts in the fourth quarter, and Kyrie Irving added 25 points and six assists as the Dallas Mavericks outlasted the New Orleans Pelicans 137-136 on Wednesday night.

The 2027 first-round pick was the only one Dallas had to offer because NBA rules prohibit trading first-round picks in successive years, and the Mavericks, at the time, owed the Knicks a first-rounder in 2024 or 2025 from the Kristaps Porzingis deal ( it officially became the ‘24 pick in April) and Brooklyn one in 2029 from the Irving deal.

The former Mavs big man left nearly three years ago, but hadn’t played a game at American Airlines Center until Saturday.

This game saw Kristaps Porzingis on the floor in Dallas for the first time since he was traded away... and that was in 2022. So how did he perform in his return?

The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Washington Wizards in a Monday night game and honored the Lunar New Year for the Asian American population. The Mavericks blew out the Wizards 130-108 at the American Airlines Center.
