One of the biggest questions that will persist throughout the regular season for the Dallas Mavericks will be when Kyrie Irving returns to the hardwood. Since tearing his ACL on March 3 and receiving surgery to repair his knee at the end of March, Irving's timetable for return has been a huge talking point, and could quite literally dictate the ceiling of the Mavericks' regular season.
While there have been plenty of contradicting reports and multiple videos of Irving's workouts that have gotten fans stirred up about his return, Jason Kidd ultimately said that the former champion is not ahead of schedule for basketball activities on Monday's media day.
