PHOENIX — Kyrie Irving scored 20 points, Daniel Gafford added 16 and the Dallas Mavericks won their first game since star Luka Doncic was injured, beating the Phoenix Suns 98-89. Kevin Durant scored 35 points for the Suns, who have lost four of their past five games. Doncic is expected to miss about a month with a calf injury suffered in the team's Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavs were left further short-handed on Friday in the third quarter after forwards Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington — along with Phoenix's Jusuf Nurkic — were all ejected after a brief fight.
