Kyrie Irving wearing a walking boot on his right foot
Tim MacMahon: Kyrie Irving is wearing a walking boot on his right foot. “It’s just precautionary,” he said. He hopes to play Wednesday vs. Warriors. He said the concern is the foot injury he re-aggravated, not the ankle he twisted.

Kyrie Irving said he reaggravated the right foot soreness/big toe pain when Dillon Brooks stepped on his heel in the third quarter.
Said the boot is “precautionary” and he plans to “exhaust all options in the next 48 hours” to heal the injury and minimize missed time. – 11:27 PM

Mavs go ice cold in the fourth quarter (3-21 FG, including 0-8 for Kyrie Irving) to lose in Memphis and slip back to seventh in West.
Grizzlies have won 6 of last 7 without Ja Morant, who is expected to play Wednesday. – 10:27 PM

Kyrie Irving was down on the court and was clutching his right ankle after Dillon Brooks stepped on it. He stayed in the game after a timeout and conversation with Mavs director of player health and performance Casey Smith. – 9:32 PM

Dillon Brooks just stepped on the back of Kyrie Irving’s foot. Can’t tell if it was intentional from the replay, but look like a pretty hard stomp either way.
Jason Kidd and Luka Doncic are among those out on the court checking on him. – 9:30 PM

Kyrie is limping after remaining down for a few seconds. The Mavericks called timeout.
Then the Grizzlies called timeout to challenge. Officials are discussing. – 9:30 PM

A tight, testy, chippy half in MEM as the Grizzlies try to get Mavs off their game, but so far, Mavs have not fallen for it as they lead 60-57. Kyrie w/20, (26th 20 pt half 7 in 1st). Mavs shoot 54.8% vs #1 FG def in NBA (44.9%). Jackson 17 for MEM. 2nd half soon @971TheFreak – 9:14 PM

Watching Kyrie Irving acclimate to the Mavericks’ pregame warm-ups has been fascinating.
Kyrie just wants to hoop, but looks like he’s also come to enjoy Dwight Powell/Maxi Kleber running football pass patterns, Josh Green dribbling like soccer, THJ playing volleyball, etc. – 8:01 PM

It’s so fascinating to analyze the difficulty & skill of the last play on Friday night. I have to pause videos & screen shot so quality is just OK. The ball is barely out of Kyrie’s hands at 1.5, it’s still not to Maxi at 0.9, he’s caught by 0.7 & has the shot away by 0.2! pic.twitter.com/jQCdMp08Sn – 2:10 PM

More on this storyline
Kylen Mills: Dillon Brooks said after tonight’s game that he’s a big fan of Kyrie Irving, everything he stands for and the way he used his platform. Said Kyrie is just like Kobe and Michael Jordan in playing the game at a different pace. Interesting. 🎥 @Brax_Avery pic.twitter.com/hyLldzADl4 -via Twitter @KylenMills / March 21, 2023
Grant Afseth: Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving says it wasn’t intentional that he didn’t take Dillon Brooks’ jersey in a post-game swap: “I saw that after the game. I’ll probably get it next time. Probably next time. Not this time. I was really onto the next thing, thought process-wise.” -via Twitter / March 21, 2023
Kyrie Irving: Chop wood, Carry water. Gotta stay poised Hélà 🤞🏾
