Livescore
The Brooklyn Nets’ Big 3 of Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Kevin Durant never reached the heights many expected during their short tenure together, only playing 16 games as a trio.
Just two years on from Harden’s arrival in Brooklyn, all three players now find themselves on new teams with Harden in Philadelphia, Kevin Durant joining the Phoenix Suns, and Kyrie Irving now in Dallas.
Tonight, two members of the former Big 3 will square off for the first time with their new teams as the Dallas Mavericks host the Philadelphia 76ers looking to end their two-game skid.
With Harden teaming up with Joel Embiid and Irving now playing alongside Luka Doncic, there’s no shortage of superstars on deck tonight at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
The Sporting News is tracking live scoring updates from Mavericks vs. 76ers on Thursday. Follow along with all of the action right here.
