Mavs See a Clear Path to Contention if the Health of Irving and Davis, Flagg's Arrival Go as Planned
The Mavericks aim to contend after trading Luka Doncic, relying on Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis to recover and rookie Cooper Flagg to contribute this season, officials said.
- Monday, the Dallas Mavericks said they see a clear path to contention if Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis get healthy, while Cooper Flagg arrived as top pick ahead of training camp in Vancouver.
- Kyrie Irving is recovering from a torn ACL and the club says he won't be ready by the season opener, while Anthony Davis underwent surgery after an elbow from Dallas center Daniel Gafford.
- Coaching staff reported everyone except Kyrie Irving had been medically cleared for training camp, and the rest of the roster is mostly intact from last season.
- After finishing 10th, the Mavericks reached the final play-in spot despite unloading Luka Doncic and injuries to Irving and Davis, while guard D'Angelo Russell adds veteran experience.
- It's just shy of six months since Kyrie Irving injured his left knee, underscoring the narrow window for recovery.
