Kyrie Irving To Return To Lineup This Weekend For First Time Since March 2025

Kyrie Irving will make his return to the Dallas Mavericks' lineup this weekend, according to head coach Dusty May. Irving has not played since suffering a torn ACL in March 2025. Irving also suffered a calf strain last December that set his recovery back eight weeks before he was ruled out for the year. The Mavs are currently set to play the Rockets in two games in China this weekend. May added that Irving will appear in one of the games, though he has not determined which game.
