Kyrie Irving (knee) won't return to Monday's matchup with the Kings. Irving logged nine minutes, amassing seven points before suffering a left knee injury. The Mavs are calling the injury a sprain. However, Irving couldn't put any weight on his leg and needed assistance off the floor. He will likely undergo further testing. The veteran has had an excellent season, averaging 25.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 40.1% shooting from behind the arc. Dallas has been without
Anthony Davis (adductor),
Dereck Lively II (ankle),
Daniel Gafford (knee), and
P.J. Washington (ankle), so
Klay Thompson,
Naji Marshall,
Max Christie, and
Dante Exum could see a bump in production if Irving is sidelined.

Kyrie Irving (shoulder) will miss Thursday's matchup against the Miami Heat. On Wednesday, Irving led the Mavericks to victory with a monster 42-point effort against the Golden State Warriors, and he gets a well-earned rest day on Thursday. Irving's absence opens up tons of usage for the likes of
Spencer Dinwiddie,
Max Christie, and
Dante Exum (Achilles. The latter has been cleared for action after initially carrying a questionable tag.

Kyrie Irving (shoulder) was listed as questionable for Thursday's home game against the Heat. Irving logged 40 minutes in Wednesday night's win over the Warriors, pouring in 42 points to go with seven rebounds. He had 30 points on Monday, so he's having a huge week, but he's also battling shoulder soreness now, so he may have to sit out on Thursday against Miami. The Mavericks also listed
Klay Thompson (foot) and
Dante Exum (Achilles) as questionable, and if those main contributors sit, there will be heavy minutes and usage available for
Spencer Dinwiddie,
Jaden Hardy, and
Max Christie in the backcourt.

Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash with the 76ers. The 32-year-old appeared in eight games leading up to Sunday's loss to the Cavs. However, he wasn't available for that one due to shoulder soreness. The Mavericks' front office made a bold move recently, with the team acquiring
Anthony Davis (abdomen) from the Lakers in exchange for
Luka Doncic (calf). It's unknown how Davis' presence will impact Irving's production. But with AD out on Tuesday, it will be business as usual for Irving.
