Questionable for Friday Irving (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Irving has missed six of the Mavericks' last seven games due to a back issue. Dallas has only won two games during his absence, as the team has found it challenging to compete without the veteran guard and Luka Doncic (calf). Spencer Dinwiddie could get another start if Irving can't return to the floor Friday.

Won't play Wednesday Irving (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Irving will sit Wednesday's matchup due to a nagging back injury, though it's uncertain if this will lead to another spell on the sidelines. His next chance to play will come against the Thunder on Friday, with either Spencer Dinwiddie or Quentin Grimes being options to take his place in the starting lineup versus New Orleans.

Doubtful for Wednesday Irving (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Irving had a shaky return Tuesday against the Nuggets with 11 points (4-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block across 30 minutes. So it's no surprise that the Mavericks will likely rest him for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy and Quentim Grimes could have more upside with Irving expected to sit.

Impact Irving returned to action Tuesday after missing Dallas' previous five contests due to a bulging disc in his back. Despite the Mavericks playing the second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday against New Orleans, Irving said he plans to play and doesn't think his back will require surgery.

Will return Tuesday Irving (back) said that he'll play in Tuesday's matchup against Denver, Jared Greenberg of NBA on TNT reports.

Impact Irving will snap a five-game absence streak due to a bulging disc in his back. There's no indication that the superstar will operate under a strict minutes restriction, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 28.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.4 minutes per contest.

Could Kyrie Irving return soon? Mavericks eager to add 'his gravity' back to the lineup Irving hasn’t played in nearly two weeks due to illness and a back injury, leaving the Luka Doncic-less Mavericks even more shorthanded.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • DALLASNEWS.COM

Questionable for Tuesday Irving (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Irving fully participated in Monday's practice and continues to trend in the right direction after missing the past five games for Dallas. It's important to note that Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, however, so Irving could be held out for injury maintenance Wednesday against the Pelicans if he gets the green light to return Tuesday. Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy likely won't offer as much upside once Irving does return to the lineup.

Impact Irving will miss his fourth consecutive game and his second in a row due to what the Mavericks are officially labeling as a lumbar back sprain, after the first two absences were attributed to an illness. Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon of ESPN reported Monday that Irving would miss at least 1-to-2 weeks with the disc issue, and given that the veteran guard isn't yet practicing, he would appear to be trending toward the longer side of that timeline. At this point, Irving should probably be viewed as doubtful for the Mavericks' upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set versus the Nuggets and Pelicans, respectively.
