Mavericks don’t have timeline yet for Kyrie Irving’s return from back injury

Maxi Kleber - Will start Monday Kleber will start in Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Kleber and Naji Marshall will supplant Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes in the starting five Monday, as the Mavericks will go without a traditional point guard in the first unit. Kleber has started in three games thus far, during which he has averaged 1.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 20.7 minutes per contest.

Naji Marshall - Getting chance with first unit Marshall is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Marshall will get another look with the starting lineup in his first game back from a four-game suspension. The Xavier product also started his last appearance Dec. 27 against the Suns and was later involved in an on-court altercation, which led to the multi-game ban. It's worth noting that Marshall has reached the 20-point mark in two of eight starts this season.

Spencer Dinwiddie - Coming off bench Monday Dinwiddie is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Monday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Dinwiddie has started in each of the Mavericks' last four games, though he struggled in his last outing against the Cavaliers on Friday, finishing with two points on 1-for-7 shooting along with five assists and four rebounds over 23 minutes. Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson will serve as the Mavericks' two starting guards Monday while Dinwiddie reverts to the bench.

Quentin Grimes - Slides to bench Monday Grimes will come off the bench in Monday's game against Memphis, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Grimes and Spencer Dinwiddie will both retreat to the bench in favor of Naji Marshall and Maxi Kleber, as the Mavericks will go without a traditional point guard in the starting five on Monday. Over his last five outings (two starts), Grimes has averaged 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 30.6 minutes per game.

Kyrie Irving - To miss 1-to-2 weeks Irving has a bulging disc in his back and is expected to miss at least one-to-two weeks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact Irving was already ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis due to an illness for his second straight absence, but now the star guard is looking at an extended absence. Charania reports that the Mavericks will have a better idea of a return date once they start treatment, but this is a tough blow for a roster that is already without Luka Doncic (calf). During the short term, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy and Quentin Grimes will receive the bulk of the backcourt minutes without Irving in the mix.

Which Maverick Desperately Needs to Break Out in 2025? Dallas needs someone other than Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to step up

JANUARY 5 • SI.COM

Kyrie Irving - Won't play Monday Irving (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Irving was a late scratch ahead of Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to an illness and will remain sidelined Monday, joining Luka Doncic (calf), who remains out for an extended period. With Dallas' backcourt shorthanded, Quentin Grimes, Jaden Hardy, Spencer Dinwiddie and Brandon Williams remain candidates for increased roles.

Dallas faces Memphis, looks to halt 4-game slide

Dallas enters the matchup with Memphis as losers of four straight games

JANUARY 5 • Associated Press

Jaden Hardy - Hits for 17 off bench Hardy supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 134-122 loss to Cleveland.

Impact It was the third-year guard's best scoring effort since he delivered a season-high 23 points in a spot start against the Hawks on Nov. 25. Hardy has played more than 20 minutes in three straight games as Dallas adjusts to the absence of Luka Doncic (calf) while also having Kyrie Irving (illness) spot in and out of the lineup, but it will likely require both star guards being unavailable again for the 2022 second-round pick to be much more than a DFS punt play for fantasy purposes.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Quentin Grimes - Pops for team-high 26 against Cavs Grimes produced 26 points (9-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 134-122 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Making his second start in the last three games while Kyrie Irving has been battling an illness, Grimes led the Mavs in scoring with his best offensive performance since he dropped 28 points on the Blazers back on Dec. 1. The fourth-year guard has seen his court time and usage boosted with Luka Doncic (calf) sidelined, and Grimes has attempted double-digit shots in four straight games while averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.3 combined steals and blocks in 31.0 minutes a contest during that span. Doncic isn't expected back until some time in February, making Grimes an intriguing fantasy option for the next month or more.
