The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly set to pursue a new starting point guard this offseason, as Kyrie Irving continues his recovery from an ACL injury and is expected to miss the start of the season.
The Dallas Mavericks are already setting their sights on next season, fueled by high expectations following an unexpected win in the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery.

The victory essentially guarantees the addition of potential franchise player Cooper Flagg, who is expected to be selected with the No. 1 pick.
While the team will start the season without their star point guard, Kyrie Irving, who is rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered in March and is expected to return around January or February, the Mavericks are not slowing down and are looking to find a solid replacement for Irving.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Mavericks are looking to add a starting point guard to the roster as Kyrie Irving rehabs from a torn ACL.
There is also speculation that Dallas could aggressively pursue a point guard on the trade market if they are unable to secure one through free agency.
Kyrie Irving holds a player option for the upcoming season, but he is expected to exercise it, as he will miss much of the year while rehabbing from his injury.
Given his absence, the need for a reliable point guard becomes undeniable if the Mavericks are serious about making a deep playoff run next season.
