Is Kyrie Irving Playing Today vs Suns?: Mavericks Star's Availability Update Ahead of Big Game vs Kevin Durant

Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are starting to get how to play together. And frankly, the rest of the NBA should be absolutely frightened at the prospect. Because frankly, if their game against the Philadelphia 76ers is any indication, the NBA is in trouble. That said, there are still some things to be worried about. And one of the biggest there is the matter of fitness.

You see, both players have been prone to pick small niggling injuries during games that can later turn into major causes of concern. Though, we’d say that trait in Irving is just a tad bit stronger. Both players will be beyond necessary in games against the biggest teams in the NBA. And after the Kevin Durant acquisition, Phoenix is now unquestionably one of them.

With such a massive game coming up, will Kyrie Irving will be available to feature against his former Nets teammate? Or will he be forced to sit this one out?
