Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving suffered a torn ACL in Monday's game against the Kings and will miss the rest of the season.

Fantasy Impact

It is a brutal blow for Irving and the Mavericks who had already been going through enough following the trade of Luka Doncic. Max Christie and Klay Thompson should take on bigger roles in the back court for Dallas.

Kyrie Irving (knee) won't return to Monday night's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Irving went down with a knee injury during Monday night's game and will not be able to return against the Kings. It has been diagnosed as a sprained knee, which may very well leave him sidelined for a little while as he recovers. The Mavs are already plagued with injuries at this point in the season, so losing their star guard will be a tough challenge for them to handle if he has to miss real time.

Kyrie Irving posted 25 points (11-of-24 FG, 2-of-9 3PT, 1-of-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and two steals across 38 minutes in Thursday’s 103-96 victory against Charlotte.

Fantasy Impact

Irving topped Dallas in scoring while filling up the box score, continuing his hot streak with averages of 27.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.1 blocks over his last nine games in 39.4 minutes per night. With Anthony Davis (adductor) sidelined, the 32-year-old’s heavy usage keeps him locked in as the offensive centerpiece, delivering a significant fantasy boost. Managers can expect this multi-category dominance to hold as long as he shoulders the load.

Kyrie Irving delivered another stellar performance in Tuesday’s loss to Los Angeles, finishing with 35 points (12-of-27 FG, 5-of-11 3PT, 6-of-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks in 39 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Irving has been on fire, scoring 30 or more points in four of his last five games. Since February 5, he has provided top-10 fantasy value in both eight- and nine-category formats. With Anthony Davis (groin) sidelined, Irving has taken on even more of the offensive workload and continues to thrive. Dallas has two more games in Week 17, starting with a favorable matchup against the struggling Hornets on Thursday.

Kyrie Irving led the Mavericks to a 111-103 victory over New Orleans on Friday, finishing with 35 points (11-of-22 FG, 5-of-11 3PT, 8-of-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists, and one block in 37 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

After missing Dallas’ final game before the All-Star break with a sore right shoulder, Irving showed no signs of limitation, delivering his third straight 30-point performance. Since the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic, he has been an elite fantasy producer, averaging 28.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 3.2 three-pointers while shooting 47.2% from the field and 92.3% from the line over his last six games. That production has translated to top-5 value in both eight- and nine-category formats. He’ll look to keep rolling when Dallas faces Golden State on Sunday.
