Kyrie Irving Out for Mavericks with Shoulder Soreness
Kyrie Irving is dealing with right-shoulder soreness and will not play for the Dallas Mavericks. This injury has kept him off the court recently, impacting his availability. The Mavericks have announced that he is out due to this shoulder issue.
What It Means
For Kyrie Irving, this injury means a pause in his impressive season performance. He has been scoring an average of 24.6 points per game and making 3.2 three-pointers per game, shooting at 44.5% from beyond the arc. His absence will be felt as he has been a key player in the team’s lineup.
The Dallas Mavericks will need to adjust their strategy without Irving on the floor. Spencer Dinwiddie is likely to step up as the main point guard during his absence. Dinwiddie averages 8.6 points per game and plays about 22 minutes each game, which means more responsibility on his shoulders now.
