However, the Mavericks have another star player who will complement Davis, currently listed on the Mavericks' injury report. Kyrie Irving is as dynamic of a player as they come with ball handling skills that set him miles apart from his competition.

The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly optimistic that star point guard Kyrie Irving could return from his torn left ACL by January 2026 and play a significant portion of the 2025–26 season, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Dallas is now one game away from officially securing a postseason spot, with their next challenge being a road matchup against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. The winner will advance to face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
