The Dallas Mavericks are just now getting ready to play their first true road game of the season, as they'll take on the Houston Rockets on Monday evening. And the Mavericks are in desperate need of a win, but they'll need to get one against the talented Houston Rockets, down Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving.

Here are the latest updates on whether or not Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving will play in the 2025-2026 NBA season.

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Allen wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 5.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.

"From the middle of the pack to the bottom of the standings, the Dallas Mavericks have fallen 15 spots in the NBA power rankings, the most out of any team in the league. This is not due to a lack of talent but because of their lack of intensity and attention to detail," Siegel wrote.

The Houston Rockets have championship aspirations, having acquired former NBA MVP Kevin Durant over the offseason. Unfortunately, veteran point guard Fred VanVleet was lost during the offseason to a knee injury.

The Denver, Colorado native was cut before the start of his rookie season, and instead played abroad and in other domestic leagues before signing with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2003. That ended with Dickens signing with the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets in 2004.

Stephen A. Smith now believes that Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving was right all along in his reluctance to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

Peacock NBA Monday continues with the Nets seeking their first victory of the season against the visiting Timberwolves, who are playing without injured Anthony Edwards.
