New reports suggest that the Mavericks are quite unsure whether their beloved guard Kyrie Irving will suit up or not this season.

Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell continues his historic run, surpassing Kyrie Irving in franchise three-pointers and chasing Mark Price next.

Kyrie Irving tore his ACL last March and had surgery a few weeks later. His recovery has been going well by all accounts with former Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison previously saying he was "ahead of schedule,' which was great news considering Dallas gave Irving a three-year contract extension in June.

Kyrie Irving has not touched the court this season due to his ACL tear, yet his presence still shapes the Dallas Mavericks every day. He shows up to shootarounds, he attends games, and he keeps his voice strong in the locker room.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is still sidelined indefinitely due to an ACL injury he suffered in March.

While there are no big-name deals even close to happening, there is still simmering trade talk around the league.

Amid a 4-11 start to the 2025-26 NBA season, many are wondering if the Dallas Mavericks lost the Luka Doncic trade, even if they ended up drafting Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft.
