Kyrie Irving Out for Mavericks Due to Illness and Back Injury
Kyrie Irving, the point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, is dealing with an illness and a back injury. He will not be playing in upcoming games. This news comes as a setback for the team as they navigate through their season.
What It Means
Irving’s absence is significant for the Mavericks. He has been averaging 24.3 points per game this season. His shooting accuracy stands at 49% from the field and 44.1% from beyond the arc.
The team will look to Spencer Dinwiddie to fill in during Irving’s absence. Dinwiddie averages 9.1 points per game while playing around 22 minutes each night. The Mavericks hope he can step up until Irving returns.
