Is Kyrie Irving playing tonight? Injury updates for Mavericks vs Warriors on March 22

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving re-injured his foot in Monday’s game, and it should be the team’s biggest concern at the moment. Luka Doncic has missed five straight games with a thigh injury, but he is nearing a return. This injury caused Kyrie to miss three games before playing in two straight. If it sidelines the eight-time All-Star again, it could be an extended absence with not much time left in the regular season.

The Mavericks have their biggest game of the year on Wednesday night as the defending champion Golden State Warriors visit Dallas. Golden State is currently sixth in the Western Conference, but just 0.5 games up on the Mavs. The season series between the two sides is tied at one game apiece, and the winner on March 22 takes that all-important tiebreaker as well.
