Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving could hit free agency this offseason if he opts out of the final year of his contract.

Irving made his ninth NBA All-Star Game this season and was likely on his way to an All-NBA selection before he went down with his ACL injury. He was keeping the Mavericks afloat after the Luka Doncic trade and Anthony Davis injury, but now that responsibility is on Davis.

Irving, a nine-time NBA All-Star, is currently rehabbing a season-ending ACL tear. Before his campaign was cut short earlier this month, the guard was averaging 24.7 points, 4.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game.

Anthony Davis exits the game after getting elbowed in the eye by his own teammate at the end of the first quarter.

Anthony Davis’ driving floater with 3.4 seconds left capped his 34-point night, his highest scoring game with Dallas, in the Mavericks' 120-118 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Davis also had 15 rebounds and five blocks despite missing most of the second period with an eye injury as Dallas overcame an 11-point third-quarter deficit.
