Kyrie Irving Still On The Shelf With Heel Contusion
5 months agoDallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Irving continues to nurse a right heel contusion and carries no clear timetable for a return, last appearing for Dallas on Dec. 8. Before going down, the 31-year-old offensive wizard was pouring in 23.0 points, 5.2 assists, 2.5 treys, and 1.2 steals per game. Without any indication that Irving is practicing, we would tentatively place him on the wrong side of questionable to play on Saturday when the Mavs visit the Golden State Warriors. All fantasy managers can do is stay patient. Head coach Jason Kidd will have to dig deep for a competitive rotation with Luka Doncic (quad) also out against the vaunted Wolves defense on Thursday, setting up Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, and Seth Curry to run the offense and Tim Hardaway Jr. to have the greenest of shooting lights.
