Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a left foot sprain. Irving appeared to come away fine health-wise from Friday's 125-120 win over his former Brooklyn Nets team, scoring 17 points on 17 shots with seven rebounds and six assists. Monday's affair is neither the first nor second part of a back-to-back set, so perhaps the eight-time All-Star has a decent chance to suit up. There's no indication he's dealing with an extended absence at this point. If Irving can't go, Luka Doncic would embrace all the usage he can handle while Tim Hardaway Jr. and Josh Green would occupy more time on the wings as possible DFS budget options on Monday's 11-game slate.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (groin) was once more a full participant in Tuesday's practice. That marks two straight full sessions for Irving, whose groin soreness appears to be getting behind him. The 31-year-old superstar could be gearing up for Friday's possible tune-up game and preseason finale versus the Detroit Pistons, having not played since Dallas' preseason opener on Oct. 5. Irving is bound to shoulder an enormous amount of offensive responsibility in 2023-24 alongside Luka Doncic (calf), who is nursing a calf strain ahead of the regular season. If Doncic cannot get right for Oct. 25's opener, expect Irving to handle an extraordinary level of usage. Irving is a late-first-round fantasy proposition for those bold enough to take on the potential games-played risk.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said guard Kyrie Irving (groin) returned to practice as a full participant Monday. This is a very encouraging development for Irving, who was deemed out indefinitely with groin soreness ahead of last Tuesday's preseason game. Irving, who hasn't appeared since Oct. 5's preseason opener, appears ready to rock for the regular season, if not Friday's preseason finale versus the Detroit Pistons. The eight-time All-Star carries some games-played risk, having participated in 60 games or fewer in each of the past three seasons, but Irving also totes top-10 per-game upside with that caveat. Treat Irving as a late-first-round pick in rotisserie leagues and more of a second-rounder in head-to-head settings in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Dallas 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.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving had a rough showing in Thursday's exhibition loss to Minnesota in Abu Dhabi. Luka Doncic scored a game-high 25 points in this one. However, Irving struggled, going 1-for-6 from the field to finish with two points. The 31-year-old was traded to the Mavericks ahead of last season's deadline and averaged 27.0 points, 6.0 assists, and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 39.2% from deep in 20 games in Dallas. But Irving and Doncic had trouble forming a cohesive unit on the court, resulting in the Mavs' omission from the playoffs. Without question, the 2011 No. 1 overall pick is arguably the most naturally gifted player in the league. Irving can do good things for fantasy managers, although he'll need to stay out of trouble and remain healthy, which have both been issues in the past.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving will re-sign with the team on a big three-year, $126 million deal with a player option in the third season. After the 31-year-old seemed to be set for multiple visits with other title-contending rosters, Irving quickly re-ups with Dallas on the open market. The perennial All-Star banked 27.0 points, 6.0 assists, 2.9 threes, and 1.3 steals across 38.2 minutes per game with the Mavs last year. Irving returns to maintain an electric tandem with fellow superstar Luka Doncic as Dallas pushes for championship contention in the 2023-2024 campaign. Irving should be a top-notch fantasy option once again.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving seemed as though he was heading in the direction that kept him alongside Luka Doncic. That could quickly change as Bill Reiter of CBS Sports reports that four more teams will join the bidding contest for Irving outside of just Dallas and Phoenix. The Lakers, Clippers, Rockets, and Heat are all set to meet with the 31-year-old veteran once free agency starts to see if they could potentially attain his services. Irving is still going to be a big-time fantasy asset no matter where he goes next season.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is one of the bigger names expected to hit the open market this offseason. However, the expectation is that Irving is going to re-sign with the organization once free agency begins. It sounds like the 31-year-old has limited legitimate options if he does decide to leave Dallas. The Mavs could offer Irving a max deal of five years, $272 million this offseason. Honestly, that should be enough to keep Irving around long term, but we'll see what he wants to do.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Mavericks are the only team interested in guard Kyrie Irving, at least at the moment. The 31-year-old, who will be free to sign with a new team this summer, averaged 27 points in Brooklyn and Dallas last season. While Irving has proven to be a potent producer since entering the league in 2011, injuries and off-the-court issues have overshadowed his career. Of course, more clubs may emerge as suitors in the coming days, although it appears a reunion with Kevin Durant is unlikely, especially after Phoenix acquired Bradley Beal from Washington on Sunday.

According to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the Rockets may look to add guard Kyrie Irving this offseason, especially if the club isn't successful in bringing back James Harden. Irving began the 2022 campaign in Brooklyn but was traded to Dallas, where he averaged 27 points in 20 games for the Mavericks. There's always a chance the 31-year-old gets signed and moved to another team. However, nobody knows what Irving has in mind, considering he's proven to be one of the most unpredictable players in the NBA. That said, the former Blue Devil will be a top producer wherever the former Duke Blue Devil lands. But staying on the floor has been an issue for him over the years, as injuries and off-the-court drama have overshadowed his career.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is set to become a free agent this summer. The superstar guard recently said he wasn't going to rush into making a decision this offseason. However, his chances of coming back to Dallas are beginning to look better by the day. Irving recently reached out to LeBron James to see if he'd come to Dallas to play. The two of them have spent six seasons on the floor together during their time on the Cleveland Cavaliers. James is still signed for the 2023-2024 season with a player option for the following season. It's worth noting that James has admitted he's unsure about returning to the Lakers next season. That means, James might decide to take up Irving's offer and join him in Dallas. The fact Irving is trying to recruit players to Dallas means that the Mavs have a good chance of resigning him this offseason.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is set to become a free agent this summer. The superstar guard recently mentioned that he's in no rush to sign a new deal. It sounds like the 31-year-old is going to take his time before deciding where his next home is going to be. There have been rumors that the Mavs could do a sign-and-trade with Irving this offseason. One obvious designation would be the Los Angeles Lakers, so Irving can be reunited with LeBron James again. However, the Lakers don't have much to offer in exchange for Irving. There have been rumors that they'd do a sign-and-trade for Irving with D'Angelo Russell as the centerpiece of the trade. The Mavs have made it clear that won't be happening. It seems like the Mavs would be open to moving Irving, but they likely want a superstar in return.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is set to become a free agent this offseason. The 31-year-old recently said that he's in no rush to make a decision on his free agency. Irving started the season with the Brooklyn Nets before being traded mid-way to the Mavericks. Sadly, the duo of Luka Doncic and Irving didn't pan out like the organization hoped. The Mavericks appear determined to bring back Irving next season. However, the All-Star guard is likely going to wait it out and test free agency.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has been in the rumor mill quite a lot since the team's season ended less than a week ago. He's expected to test free agency to see if he can get the money he wants on a team that interests him, but Mavericks General Manager, Nico Harrison, has expressed optimism that Irving will sign an extension and stay in Dallas. Whether that's the best thing for the franchise is another story, but if Irving does walk away, the Mavericks won't have much to show for after their trade with Brooklyn.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving declined to do an exit interview with the media on Sunday. After the 31-year-old was traded by Brooklyn, he indicated that he wanted to remain in Dallas. However, the latest development will open the door for speculation surrounding his future with the team moving ahead. Irving appeared in 20 games for the Mavericks in 2022-23, averaging 27.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. He also shot 39.2% from behind the arc and made a career-high 94.7% of his free throws. Nevertheless, it will be an interesting summer for the veteran, who will be a free agent in July. Although his talent has never been in question, his inability to stay healthy and away from off-the-court drama will continue to negatively impact his fantasy stock.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Despite the rumors that he and Luka Doncic could be shut down for the rest of the season, he seems to still be expected to play at least one more game. With the team still on the outside of the play-in tournament, fantasy managers will want to take Irving's status day by day, especially for those in the championship of their leagues.

Dallas Mavericks guards Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving might be shut down for the rest of the regular season. The Mavericks only have three games left and have almost fallen out of the playoff picture. That being said, the organization is considering sitting Doncic and Irving for the rest of the season. The Mavs are currently 1-7 in their last eight games. The hope was that the addition of Irving would boost their offense. However, the increase in offense hasn't been enough to overcome their poor defense. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see if the Mavs are serious about sitting their two stars.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving filled it up with a game-high 41 points on 16-for-27 shooting Sunday against Atlanta, but the team suffered heartache in overtime and had to take a third consecutive loss with a 132-130 scoreline. Five of Irving's misses came with six attempts from behind the arc, and he completed his line with five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block. Both Irving and Luka Doncic had 40-point games over the weekend, but the team ended up on the losing side on both occasions and now has a 4-11 record in games the star duo has played together. Times are very worrying in Dallas with just three games left in the regular season.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) has been ruled out against the Golden State after being listed as questionable. Irving missed three games due to foot soreness before returning for two games, but will now miss another has he continues to deal with the injury. The Mavericks have also ruled out Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness), but will get Luka Doncic (thigh) back after a five-game absence. With Kyrie out, Doncic should command a massive usage rate on offense while supporting players like Josh Green and Jaden Hardy should see a small boost in fantasy value.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is listed as questionable for another game on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. He has played the last couple of games while holding a questionable status heading into both of those as well. A good sign is that he played 38 and 33 minutes in those two games respectively. Fantasy managers will want to just keep their eye on Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway Jr. in case Irving can't give it a go.
