Kyrie Irving Details Mavericks' Playing-Time Plan, Medical Staff Changes After ACL Return
HOUSTON — Kyrie Irving checked out of the Dallas Mavericks’ season opener 3:51 after the opening tip Wednesday night. His minutes are lined up through conversations with a medical staff that has gone through a lot of change, he said after the 128-110 loss to the Houston Rockets. Kyrie Irving, the Dallas Mavericks' season opener player, revealed that his minutes are lined up through conversations with a medical staff that has undergone significant change. He finished with 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists on 6-of-9 shooting in 23:45. This was his first regular-season game since March 3, 2025, when he tore the ACL in his left knee and missed the rest of the season and all of 2025-26. Irving is used to playing 10 to 12 minutes to start a game and has to adjust to a shorter first stint. The Mavericks have named Nico Berg their executive director of health and performance as part of a group of hires this fall.
