Report: Mavericks G Kyrie Irving to be sidelined with bulging disc in back
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has a bulging disc in his back that’s expected to sideline him for at least 1 to 2 weeks, ESPN reports.
It’s not clear from the report how or when Irving sustained the injury. Irving doesn’t yet have a target date to return to the court, according to the report.
The Mavericks are already playing without All-Star guard Luka Dončić, who’s sidelined with a calf strain that he suffered in Dallas’ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Christmas. It’s not clear when Dončić will return. The Mavericks announced on Dec. 28 that Dončić would be re-evaluated in one month.
