Kyrie Irving In Limbo Wednesday
6 months agoDallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. A right foot sprain is the culprit for Irving's appearance on the injury report, which probably won't be the last time we'll see him on the list this year. It's the second night of a back-to-back set for the Mavs, so Dallas could keep him out against Washington as a form of load management. Josh Green was the closest thing to a direct fantasy beneficiary when the 31-year-old eight-time All-Star sat out on Oct. 30 and Nov. 1, after Green moved into head coach Jason Kidd's starting group in those instances. Wednesday's date with the Wizards easily boasts the highest implied point total (244.5) of the eight-game slate, so Luka Doncic could go nuclear if he's without Irving in an environment pitting two of the NBA's highest-paced offenses against each other.
