The Dallas Mavericks sat Kyrie Irving against the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings, and after the Mavs lost to the Kings by 15, the NBA load management debate around their 34-year-old star took off. Is Kyrie Irving’s rest schedule a hidden injury setback, or a simple plan from the Mavs to keep Kyrie fresh next to Cooper Flagg for a playoff run?
The Dallas Mavericks sat Kyrie Irving against the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings, and after the Mavs lost to the Kings by 15, the NBA load management debate around their 34-year-old star took off. Is Kyrie Irving’s rest schedule a hidden injury setback, or a simple plan from the Mavs to keep Kyrie fresh next to Cooper Flagg for a playoff run?
Nick Angstadt breaks down why Kyrie Irving’s load management is simpler than it looks, and how the Mavs are using the schedule to get him the most full days off. Nick walks through the back-to-back against the Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs, the 3-games-in-5-days stretch that included the Houston Rockets, and Gavin Dawson’s take that this isn’t a normal load management pattern. Was sitting Kyrie against the Kings a mistake, or a reasonable bet by the Dallas Mavericks?
