Kyrie Irving's status is uncertain for the Dallas Mavericks game against the Denver Nuggets on January 14, 2025, due to illness. With key players Luka Doncic and Dante Exum also out, Dallas faces significant lineup challenges.

The Dallas Mavericks may soon see one of their top NBA stars back on the floor. Kyrie Irving, who has been out since New Year’s Day due to a lingering back injury, was upgraded to “questionable” for Tuesday’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets,

"Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf strain) intends to make his return today against the Dallas Mavericks after missing the previous nine games," Haynes reported. With a starting lineup of Westbrook, Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Gordon and Jokic, the Nuggets will be getting a glimpse of who they could roll out come playoff time.

The Dallas Mavericks will host the Denver Nuggets once again on Tuesday night after losing to Denver 112-101 on Sunday in Dallas. However, the Mavs were without Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic due to injuries.
