Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving herniated a disc in his back and is expected to miss one to two weeks


Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is expected to miss one to two weeks due to a herniated disk in his back, but the timing of his return remains unclear.  

 

Head coach Jason Kidd said: "He's out, so I can't speculate or comment. According to reports, he will be out for one to two weeks." Kyrie Irving is the team's second scorer, averaging 25.6 points per game, with a shooting percentage of nearly 50%, including a three-point shooting percentage of 41.41%.  

 

Therefore, Kyrie Irving's injury is a big blow to the Dallas Mavericks. In addition, Luka Doncic is also about to miss the sixth game due to a left calf strain.  

 

"It's important for everyone in uniform," Jason Kidd said. "Because we're shorthanded, we have to have a next-man-up mentality. We can't replace Luka Doncic or Kyrie Irving, so it's going to take a team effort."
