Kyrie Irving Unlikely To Play Against Sacramento
1 year agoDallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is doubtful for Saturday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. Irving will likely miss a third consecutive outing as the multi-time All-Star continues to deal with a sprained right thumb. Luka Doncic (ankle), coming off a 73-point outing on Friday against Atlanta, would normally absorb most of the scoring opportunities. However, with Doncic and Derrick Jones Jr. (wrist) questionable, fantasy managers could get extra production out of guys like Josh Green, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Dante Exum. There's also a chance Jaden Hardy could get enough work to warrant value consideration in DFS contests.

Kyrie Irving Injured On Monday, Helped Off The Court
4 weeks agoDallas Mavericks guard 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 Ruled Out Against Heat

Kyrie Irving Uncertain Thursday Against Miami
1 month agoDallas Mavericks guard 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 Available Versus The 76ers
2 months agoDallas Mavericks guard 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.
