Dallas Mavericks’ star player Kyrie Irving participated in Monday’s practice, according to head coach Jason Kidd’s announcement to the media.

“Yeah, Kyrie was fine. Went through everything today,” Kidd stated.

 

Irving had been sidelined for Saturday’s game due to foot soreness, resulting in the Mavericks facing a 126-120 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, despite an impressive 30-0 run during the match. The absence of Irving was palpable, and the team is optimistic about his swift return.

 

With a day of rest scheduled for Tuesday, Irving is expected to be available when the Mavericks host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Subsequently, the team will embark on a two-game road trip, commencing with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

 

Dallas is keen on breaking a two-game losing streak, and the return of Irving to the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Jazz would undoubtedly bolster their chances.

 

Irving currently maintains a season average of 23.6 points per game, shooting at 45.5 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from beyond the arc. Additionally, he contributes 5.5 assists and 4.1 rebounds per contest. The synergy between Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic significantly enhances Dallas’ offensive prowess when both players are on the court.
