Before the Dallas Mavericks' matchup against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, Kyrie Irving was ruled out for the second consecutive game due to a left foot sprain. While his absence is felt on the court, Irving remains committed to his recovery and staying connected with his team. Irving previously dealt with a groin injury during the preseason, which forced him to miss the team's final two games. Now, he faces a left foot injury but is diligently working with the Mavs' training staff to ensure a full recovery and maintain his conditioning before making his return. Speaking about his current injury status, Irving said, "Better," indicating positive progress in his recovery. He emphasizes the importance of taking necessary steps to ensure that injuries from the preseason don't carry over into the regular season. NFR Las Vegas 2023
