Mavericks' Kyrie Irving aggravates foot injury
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving said he re-aggravated his foot/toe injury on Monday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Irving, who recently missed three games due to right foot soreness and big toe pain, was seen with a walking boot after Tuesday's contest. He said the boot is “precautionary” and that he plans to “exhaust all options" to play Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Jaden Hardy will likely return to the lineup if Irving is unavailable. Josh Green would also benefit, assuming Luka Doncic (thigh) remains out.
numberFire's models project Kyrie for 38.3 minutes and 48.1 FanDuel points on Wednesday versus the Warriors. He scored 58.9 FanDuel points in 40 minutes against Golden State in January, when he was still with the Brooklyn Nets. Hardy averaged 35.7 FanDuel points and 38.7 minutes during Kyrie's recent three-game absence.
