Kyrie Irving's recovery timeline and what the Mavericks decide to do with him could define the rest of the season.
With Dallas' two best players in Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving still out due to injury following Nico Harrison's firing, the direction that Dallas should go in regarding their stars has been a point of contention amongst fans and analysts, especially when it comes to Irving.
Recent reports indicate Irving may even be ahead of schedule in his recovery, though it's been revealed his return this season is completely up in the air, with his return to play likely hinging on what position the Mavericks will be in with their personnel and record once Irving is officially cleared to play.
