Kyrie Irving is projected to be sidelined for approximately one to two weeks as he recovers from a bulging disk in his back.
The Dallas Mavericks remain optimistic that the treatment he undergoes in the coming days will establish a clear timeline for his return to the court.
Irving has already been ruled out for Monday’s matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, with the team officially listing his absence as due to a lumbar sprain.
The Mavericks also contend with the absence of Luka Doncic, who is currently nursing a calf injury, further challenging the team’s depth and performance.
In his 14th NBA season, Irving has consistently demonstrated his All-Star caliber play, delivering an impressive stat line of 24.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.
His shooting efficiency has been exceptional, boasting a 49.0% field goal percentage and a career-high 44.1% accuracy from beyond the arc.
