Following Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, Irving spoke in the Mavericks locker room about the injury and prognosis.

The Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans will play on Wednesday night, but will Kyrie Irving be available for the game?

Mavericks star Kyrie Irving is listed as doubtful for Wednesday night's road game against the Pelicans, although his intention had been to play both games of a back-to-back after returning from a five-game absence due to a bulging disc in his lower back.

Inconsistency is about the only consistent theme of the Dallas Mavericks’ injury-riddled season. The Mavericks began most of the new year with the task of playing without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Jason Kidd said Kyrie Irving could potentially return on Friday after not playing on Wednesday against the Pelicans.
