Mavs welcome back Kyrie (foot) for Lakers tilt

Kyrie Irving returned to the lineup Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers following a three-game absence because of right foot soreness, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said.

“That will give us some juice,” Kidd said.

Dallas went 1-2 without Irving.

The Mavs will be without Luka Doncic for the fourth straight game because of a left hamstring injury. He was ruled out Thursday.
