The Kyrie Irving trade has now gone through.
While the trade was reported on Sunday afternoon, it wasn't made official until Monday evening because the Nets were said to be "evaluating opportunities" to expand it with a third team. It ended up being a two-team deal, with Irving and Markieff Morris headed to Dallas for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and three future picks.
The trade wasn't complete in time for Irving to make his Mavericks debut against the Jazz on Monday. Will he be cleared to play against the Clippers on Wednesday?
Here's everything we know about Irving's status for Wednesday's game.
