Kyrie Irving Gets Bad Update on Mavs Future Due to 19-Year-Old Prodigy Cooper Flagg, Insiders Say
Dallas is weighing Irving’s future as the 34-year-old recovers from a torn ACL and has one season left on his contract.
- On Monday, ESPN's Tim MacMahon reported a "question that's being asked around the league" is how long point guard Kyrie Irving will remain with the Dallas Mavericks as the franchise prioritizes building around 19-year-old rookie Cooper Flagg.
- Although Dallas has publicly maintained excitement over the Irving and Flagg tandem, Irving is 34 years old and 15 years older than the rookie, having missed all of last season recovering from a torn ACL.
- With just one season remaining on his contract until his 2027-28 player option, Irving may not remain with the Mavericks long, and teams around the league are monitoring his situation closely.
- The Miami Heat could pursue the nine-time All-Star guard ahead of the February trade deadline, though insider Barry Jackson noted Miami lacks tradeable draft assets to entice a Dallas deal.
- If Irving requested a trade, veteran NBA insider Marc J. Spears said team president Masai Ujiri would likely cooperate: "I think it's the kind of relationship where if Kyrie says, 'Hey, Masai, like, this isn't for me,' I think they could work together.
