The Dallas Mavericks have the makings of a potentially dangerous team next season. They picked up Cooper Flagg in the NBA draft to add to a very talented front court that features Anthony Davis and added D'Angelo Russell in free agency to hold down the fort until Kyrie Irving returns. The superstar point guard tore his ACL in March and should serve as the perfect scoring complement to the rest of the roster's talent when he recovers.
When that will be, exactly, is far from certain. The Mavs nor Irving have offered anything resembling a concrete rehab timeline since the injury happened. But over the holiday weekend the star player himself chimed in on the possibility that he could return for the playoffs next season, should Dallas qualify.
