According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Monday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. The veteran was having 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 an uptick in minutes on the floor and a bump in production with Irving out.
Kyrie Irving Injured On Monday, Helped Off The Court
Dallas 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.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) will miss Thursday's matchup against the Miami Heat. On Wednesday, Irving led the Mavericks to victory with a monster 42-point effort against the Golden State Warriors, and he gets a well-earned rest day on Thursday. Irving's absence opens up tons of usage for the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Christie, and Dante Exum (Achilles. The latter has been cleared for action after initially carrying a questionable tag.
Dallas 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.
Dallas 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.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) won't play on Sunday against the Cavaliers. The 32-year-old is dealing with a shoulder injury, so he'll miss his first game after appearing in the Mavericks' previous eight contests. With Daniel Gafford (ankle), P.J. Washington (knee), and Anthony Davis (abdomen, trade pending) also out, Dallas will look for increased production from Spencer Dinwiddie and Klay Thompson. That will also apply to Quentin Grimes, Naji Marshall, Dante Exum, and Jaden Hardy.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It appears that Irving has suffered a shoulder injury during Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. It doesn't sound like a major issue, but the Mavs may elect to rest Irving on Sunday with their next game not coming until Tuesday. Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy figure to see increased roles if Irving is unavailable to play. Dinwiddie is well worth a look as a streaming option and should see a bigger role moving forward with Luka Doncic headed to the Los Angeles Lakers. That being said, Dinwiddie could be a popular waiver pickup right now.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Irving appears to be good to go after missing six of the last seven games due to a lingering back issue. There is no word on Irving being limited, so fantasy managers should expect him to have his normal workload on Friday. His return will push Spencer Dinwiddie back to the bench where he won't have as much streaming appeal. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting Irving back in their lineups as he'll be asked to do the heavy lifting with Luka Doncic (calf) still sidelined.
Kyrie Irving Questionable For Meeting With Thunder
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) has been labeled as questionable for Friday's clash against Oklahoma City. Irving returned from a back injury on Tuesday against Denver, but he was once again out when the team finished off a back-to-back set versus New Orleans on Wednesday. Irving struggled significantly on Tuesday, finishing with 11 points on 4-for-18 shooting, so he might indeed need a bit more time off. Spencer Dinwiddie should make another start if Irving is out again. The veteran guard notched 20 points on Wednesday and contributed three steals on the defensive end. Dinwiddie has performed well as a starter throughout the campaign, averaging 16.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.3 steals.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) won't play on Wednesday versus the Pelicans. The 32-year-old returned from a five-game stint on the shelf for Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. However, he had trouble getting his shots to fall, finishing with only 11 points while making four of his 18 attempts from the field. With Irving sidelined, Spencer Dinwiddie, averaging 15.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 1.1 steals in nine starts this season, should be featured in all fantasy lineups.
