Since the start of the 2023-2024 NBA season, Kyrie Irving has played 17/23 games for the Dallas Mavericks. He is a mainstay of the team, averaging more than 23 points, 5.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game. Kyrie Irving's high performance has helped the Dallas Mavericks fly high in the rankings with 4 consecutive wins, ranking 3rd in the Western region.

However, the Dallas Mavericks may have a tough time in the near future, as Kyrie Irving has to sit out and it is unknown when he will return. Kyrie Irvin suffered an injury in a silly way, in the match against the Portland Trail Blazers on December 9. He was knocked down by a teammate while he was in a passive position. Before that, Irving had just been fouled and was still on the court when Dwight Powell also lost his balance and fell. Powell's entire body of nearly 100 kg pressed on Irving's right ankle, forcing this player to limp off the court with the help of the medical team.

According to ESPN , Kyrie Irving has avoided serious injury. However, his club will have to sit out for an unspecified period of time. "I will be back on the field soon at the right time. Once again, I am very grateful for everyone's concern for me. I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers," Kyrie Irving reassured fans.

Over the past six seasons, Kyrie Irving has gone from one of the team's most consistent players to one plagued by injuries. Since 2018, he has not been able to play more than 60 games per season.
