Shams Charania: "My understanding is Kyrie Irving's rehab has gone amazingly. There was a sense during last season that, you know, if the Mavericks were playing at a very competitive level, like Kyrie Irving could have potentially come back in December or January but given the way the season was going. It obviously didn't make sense for the Mavericks to rush Kyrie Irving back onto the floor either. But from my understanding, he's fully recovered, 100% with that ACL tear from a couple seasons ago. He's been fully entrenched in the Mavericks' plans this offseason. He and Dusty May have spoken; he and Masai Ujiri, the new president, have spoken; Mike Schmitz, their new general manager, has spoken with Kyrie Irving as well. So, they're entering next season, Patrick Dumont, the owner, he really wants to see Kyrie Irving, Cooper Flagg in this team next season and how that duo looks because, you know, Kyrie Irving is the elder statesman of this team."
