Kyrie Irving shirt number: Why did the Dallas Mavericks player change his shirt number from 2 to 11?

Dallas Mavericks KYRIE IRVING

According to many sources, Kyrie Irving is expected to return to his familiar number 11 next season. The former Brooklyn Nets star wore jersey number 2 when he moved to the Dallas Mavericks at the end of last season. The reason is because when Irving arrived, the Mavericks’ number 11 shirt was being taken over by Tim Hardaway Jr. 


And it seems that the Mavericks have successfully convinced Hardaway to give up the number 11 shirt to Irving starting next season. Irving is a star who believes in spiritual things, and the number 11 shirt has an important meaning to the 31-year-old star.
