Is Kyrie Irving playing tonight? Latest injury update for Warriors at Mavs
By Cal Durrett
The Dallas Mavericks are just 4-6 in their last 10 games and are in serious danger of missing the postseason despite the addition of All-Star Kyrie Irving. Irving hasn’t been the immediate help that the team expected him to be, and Dallas may be running out of time for him and superstar Luka Doncic to work out the kinks.
Still, both players are among the most talented offensive players the NBA has ever seen, and if they can both get hot, then they could be a tough out in the playoffs. That assumes they make the playoffs, particularly with their recent rash of injuries, Irving included.

Irving is listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ game against the Warriors on Wednesday with right foot soreness.
When will Kyrie Irving play?
Fortunately, Irving’s injury doesn’t appear to be serious for the Mavericks, who are already banged up despite his status for their game against the Warriors. If he doesn’t play tonight, he could very well play in their next game.
Dallas Mavericks’ full injury report
In addition to Irving, Markeiff Morris could miss the team’s game against the Warriors. Doncic is also on the injury report.
Dallas Mavericks’ playoff outlook.
The Mavericks’ next few opponents may very well determine whether or not they qualify for the postseason. In the West, the Mavericks are only a game ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans. This means that a bad five-game stretch may drop them from the eighth seed to out of the playoffs.
Overall, Irving will likely be back soon. However, the injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Mavericks.
