Kyrie Irving Won't Play On Saturday
1 year agoDallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (groin) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Timberwolves. The multi-time All-Star had a rough showing on Thursday in the first of back-to-back exhibition meetings with Minnesota, finishing with two points off a rough 1-for-6 shooting from the field while committing two turnovers in 14 minutes. Irving's left groin soreness may have been the cause for his woes on the offensive end in that one. At any rate, head coach Jason Kidd will understandably remain overly cautious regarding the former Brooklyn Net, meaning he might also miss Friday's preseason finale versus the Pistons. But the bigger question is if this injury will extend into the regular season. Although nothing suggests it will, it's still something for fantasy managers to monitor over the next few weeks.
