## Resource

Kyrie Irving is poised to return as the Dallas Mavericks’ leader in 2026-27, aiming to reclaim his All-Star form after a torn ACL sidelined him last season. At 34 and fully recovered, he’s already looking sharp in offseason workouts, averaging over 24 points and shooting lights out from deep during his last All-Star run. With Luka Doncic gone and the roster rebuilt around young talent like Cooper Flagg, Irving now steps into a veteran mentor role. Early reports from team runs are glowing — and with a more favorable Western Conference, the Mavericks are banking on him to lead them back to the playoffs.
