Kyrie Irving - Out due to rest Irving is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to rest, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Mavericks are taking a cautious approach with Irving since he's played only a few games since returning from the ACL injury he sustained in March last year, so it's not surprising to see him out for rest. His next chance to play will come against the Heat on Monday, and in the meantime, Marcus Sasser is expected to replace him in the backcourt against the Spurs.

Morez Johnson Jr. - Upgraded to probable Johnson (shin) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Johnson was initially listed as questionable but is now trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff. If he's cleared to suit up, the rookie would likely see increased playing time due to the Mavericks being extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Zaccharie Risacher - Trending toward playing Saturday Risacher (hip) has been upgraded from questionable to probable ahead of Saturday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Risacher was initially tagged as questionable due to right hip soreness, but the third-year pro is trending in the right direction of Saturday's contest. Cooper Flagg (shoulder) has already been ruled out, and with Kyrie Irving (knee) now doubtful, Risacher and the other Mavericks role players are in line for more responsibilities against the Spurs.

Zaccharie Risacher - Questionable for Saturday Risacher is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to right hip soreness.

Impact A final call on Risacher's status will be made closer to Sunday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. The Frenchman has seen considerable playing time off the bench in the early days of the season, logging at least 27 minutes in his two appearances and averaging 7.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Morez Johnson Jr. - Questionable to face San Antonio Johnson (shin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Johnson is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of this back-to-back set due to right shin splints. If the rookie forward is unable to suit up, Naji Marshall, P.J. Washington and Tobi Lawal would be candidates to see a bump in minutes.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Martin - Missing third consecutive game Martin (thumb) has been ruled out against San Antonio on Saturday.

Impact Martin has yet to suit up for a regular-season game due to a right thumb injury. His next chance to play is Monday against the Heat, but given the nature of the injury, he can be considered week-to-week until the Mavericks provide a more clear timetable for return.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jett Howard - Unlikely to play Saturday Howard (calf) is listed as doubtful against the Spurs on Saturday.

Impact Howard is tracking toward missing each of the first three games of the regular season while tending to a right calf injury. Assuming he's ruled out, the fourth year pro's next opportunity to make his 2026-27 regular-season debut would be Monday against the Heat.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kyrie Irving - Iffy to play Saturday Irving (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Irving may sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management. If the star floor general is held out of Saturday's contest, Marcus Sasser and Sergio de Larrea would be candidates for increased minutes. Naji Marshall could also see increased playmaking duties if Irving joins Cooper Flagg (shoulder) on the inactive list.

Max Christie - Dealing with shin injury Christie (shin) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Christie may have picked up the injury during the Mavericks' 121-105 win over the Pacers on Friday, when he played 38 minutes and finished with 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal. If he cannot play in the second leg of the Mavericks' back-to-back set, then Marcus Sasser and Zacharrie Risacher would be the top candidates to enter the starting five.

Tarik Biberovic - Won't play vs. San Antonio Biberovic (heel) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Biberovic has been recovering from right heel bursitis stemming from training camp in mid-October. He'll end up missing the first three games of the regular season, and he can be considered week-to-week until the Mavericks provide a clearer timetable for the 2023 second-rounder.

Santi Aldama - Won't play Saturday Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Aldama continues to ramp up in his recovery from a right knee procedure that he underwent in March. His next chance to make his 2026-27 debut is Monday against the Heat, but he should be considered week-to-week until his practice participation increases.

Cooper Flagg - Diagnosed with left shoulder sprain The Mavericks diagnosed Flagg with a mild left shoulder sprain, and the second-year forward will be re-evaluated by medical staff next week, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com report...

Impact Flagg took a hard fall during the second quarter of the Mavericks' win against the Pacers on Friday. He was already ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs, but it looks like the 2025 first-overall pick will miss at least a couple of more games while recovering from his injury. Naji Marshall, Marcus Sasser and Zaccharie Risacher figure to be the top candidates to enter Dallas' starting five for as long as Flagg is sidelined.

P.J. Washington - Double-doubles with three blocks Washington chipped in 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds and three blocks across 33 minutes during Friday's 121-105 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Washington went to work on the glass, ripping down a game-high 13 rebounds, and he was a menace on the defensive end. Washington can be hit-or-miss, but he's locked into major minutes as a starter in Dallas, so he should see enough floor time to sustain some low-end value in deep fantasy leagues.

Naji Marshall - Nets 15 points with full line Marshall finished with 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 121-105 win over the Pacers.

Impact With Cooper Flagg (shoulder) leaving the game in the second quarter, Marshall started the second half for the Mavericks and made the most of the increased opportunity. If Flagg can't play Saturday against the Spurs, Marshall would make for an intriguing streamer option in fantasy leagues.

Kyrie Irving - Nets 24 points with two stocks Irving posted 24 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 121-105 win over Indiana.

Impact Irving fouled out for the first time in his career, but he looked great while he was out there, finishing with a game-high 24 points and a plus-8 differential in the blowout win. Cooper Flagg exited Friday's game with a shoulder injury, and it sounds like there's a chance he could miss Saturday's meeting with the Spurs, which would likely result in a ton of shots falling Irving's way.
