Kyrie Irving teases injury info after All-Star break
The Dallas Mavericks had several injuries during the season, and many wanted to see what he would look like when he was fully healthy. Unfortunately, the The Mavericks decided to move on from Anthony Davis, trading him to the Washington Wizards after he barely played due to injury.
Another player that everyone is waiting to see is Kyrie Irving, who is still in rehabilitation since his ACL injury last March. Irving stepped up his rehab, and recently went on a live stream to talk to his fans about update on his injury.
“I’ll give you an update after the All-Star break. Whether it’s this year or next year, it doesn’t matter. I’ll talk when the time is right,” he said.
Before this season, there were reports that Irving would likely return near the second half of the season. If that’s still the case, then there’s a chance he should be closer to a return to action, but things could always change. The fact that the Mavericks aren’t particularly in a position to contend for a playoff spot means they may be giving Irving all the time he needs to get back healthy.
The Mavericks have been missing a point guard like Irving all season, and for now head coach Jason Kidd has put Cooper Flagg in that position. It’s been a rough start for Flagg, but he’s starting to settle into his role on the floor and is making strides almost every game.
It would still be interesting to see how the Mavericks would look with Irving on the floor, but for now it’s uncertain if he’ll be back on the floor this season.
With the Mavericks also handing the keys to Flagg, they could even consider getting younger in the offseason, and possibly try to deal Irving if he doesn’t fit what they’re trying to do.
