Irving tore his left ACL in early March and underwent surgery on the injury.
While he's still expected to miss a significant chunk of the 2025-2026 campaign, there's optimism he could be back on the court before the calendar flips to 2026.
Of course, it's very early in his recovery, and he'll have to avoid setbacks throughout the summer and fall in order to remain on schedule.
However, Charania's report is a good sign for Irving's fantasy value next season.
The Mavericks are optimistic that Irving (knee) could return by the start of January, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Mavs recent slide has shifted the outlook. Wins aren’t coming, clarity should: prioritize development, experiment with lineups, manage minutes, and protect draft position. Strategic reset now could pay off far more than chasing the play in.
What moves should the Mavs make?
Mavs drop another 107-113 in a game that was practically out of reach the whole time. OTTN! Monday vs the Blazers for get back #mffl
The Warriors are contemplating trading for Anthony Davis, per @ChrisBHaynes , @Sleeper_Hoops
It would likely require a third team in the trade.
What would a warriors package for AD look like?
Mavs drop their Christmas Day game.
After AD went down it was always gonna be tough to compete but there are always positives!
Coop had 27-6-5
B Will had 26-3-3
And our chance at a higher draft pick increases with every loss. Let’s just have fun with it this year. #MFFL
Merry Christmas everybody! May your day be filled with blessings (like getting the 1st overall pick after trading a hall of famer and franchise player away) and enjoying time with loved ones today! Mavs at 5PM est against the warriors, it’s gonna be an amazing day 💙🎄 #MFFL
COOPER FLAGG
33/9/9 NEAR triple double 🤩
19 year old super star helps lead the Mavs to another huge victory!
AD stuffs the stat sheet as well with
31/9/4 and 3 steals 🔥
This team may be unpredictable night to night but they’re undeniably fun when they’re clicking! #MFFL
Cooper Flagg is currently 9th in the ENTIRE league for fan voting 🔥 let’s get the rook into the top 5! Per: @Mavs_FFL
After a 4th quarter collapse the Mavs fall to 11-19, AD with an ELITE game, Klay with an amazing first half but 15 TO’s and 50% from the FT line will do that to you. Coop and Nembhard both with rough games but they’re rookies so it’s to be expected. OTTN #MFFL
