Kyrie Irving is set to play Sunday in China against Houston, his first game since tearing his left ACL on March 3, 2025. He said a Grade 2 calf strain in December slowed his rehab. Mavericks coach Dusty May says he has practiced without issue since camp opened.

"He's been unbelievable in practice as far as leadership and mentoring the younger players." - Dusty May
