The honeymoon is officially over between Kyrie Irving and Dallas Mavericks fans.
Irving was supposed to be the help Luka Doncic desperately needed. But since trading for Irving in early February, the Mavericks are 8-12. Luka and Irving as a duo? An unimpressive 3-7.
But the wheels really fell off Friday. In the second game of a back-to-back, the Mavs fell to the Charlotte Hornets — the fourth-worst team in the NBA. And as boos rang out across the American Airlines Center, it was clear fans are not pleased.
So far, the Luka Doncic-Kyrie Irving era is not great.

The starting pitcher is set to hit free agency in the offseason.
Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola is entering the final year of his contract, but he is reportedly not interested in negotiating during the season. Therefore, the deadline for agreeing to an extension would be Opening Day on March 30.
However, the Phillies and Nola could not and will not reach common ground on a potential contract extension before the season begins next week, team president Dave Dombrowski announced Saturday.

It was a rough three games for the controversial Crimson Tide forward.
Alabama’s unceremonious exit in the Sweet 16 Friday evening at the hands of San Diego State drew comment throughout the college basketball world, as the Crimson Tide’s scandal-marred 2023 season came to an end.
However, Alabama forward Brandon Miller’s performance drew particular scrutiny. 
The Crimson Tide superstar made just eight of his 41 field goal attempts in Alabama’s three tournament games against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Maryland and the Aztecs.

The Ole Miss head coach discussed the scrutiny he faced from fans, despite remaining in Oxford.
When Lane Kiffin signed his six-year contract extension to remain as head coach at Ole Miss instead of jumping over a state to become the head man at SEC West rival Auburn in November, he felt good about his decision.
Kiffin, who finished his third season with the program with an 8-5 record overall and 4-4 in SEC, was in a bevy of rumors as the Tigers top target to become the next head coach from the moment Auburn fired Bryan Harsin on Oct. 31.

Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin was nearly Auburn head coach Lane Kiffin, and he told ESPN Friday he struggled with that decision last fall.
It wasn’t so much the choice between Auburn or Ole Miss, though. Instead, Kiffin said, it was the public criticism he received in some corners for how he went about the process.
“We screw up all the time,” he told the outlet.

The Los Angeles guard weighed in on his future in Los Angeles following this season.
Austin Reaves has not only become a pillar of the Lakers organization in the last two seasons, but he has also become a crucial part in the franchise’s playoff aspirations without star LeBron James, who is still healing from a tendon injury in his right foot.
Los Angeles (37–37) has won seven of its last 10 games that includes a current three-game winning streak and sits at No. 8 in the Western Conference, tied with the Timberwolves (37–37) and 1.5 games behind the Warriors (39–36) at No.
