According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks are very hopeful that Kyrie Irving will be able to be cleared for this offseason’s training camp.

The 32-year-old is on the right path to getting cleared since having surgery in July. This surgery was to help repair his hand.

While Irving hasn’t been cleared for 5-on-5 action, Stein did shed positive light on this situation:

“At this point, he has not been cleared yet for full 5-on-5 hoop, but basically what I’ve been told is he remains on course to be cleared in time for training camp, so I don’t think there’s any concern there,” said Stein on the DLLS Mavs podcast. 

Players from the Mavericks hosted a mini-camp for themselves, and fifteen of them participated. Irving did show up but was limited throughout the camp.

Per Stein, the mini-camp went very well on and off the court.

“Everything I heard about the mini-camp was that the on-court stuff was great, but maybe the off-court stuff was even better.”

This is excellent news for Dallas and their fanbase heading into training camp and wanting to start strong for the upcoming regular season.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Golden State Warriors will be able to take on former teammate Klay Thompson very soon when the regular season begins.

The newly signed Dallas Mavericks player will have the chance to play against his former team on November 12th.

A reminder that the regular season begins on October 22nd and goes until April 13th of 2025.

Klay Thompson Signs $50 Million Deal With Mavericks

According to multiple reports, the Dallas Mavericks have come to an agreement with Klay Thompson for him to join the likes of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.

The deal is set for three years worth $50 million, including a player option. For reference on other offers coming across Thompson’s phone, the Los Angeles Lakers were prepared to offer him a four-year, $80 million deal.

While Dallas has agreed to a contract with Thompson, Golden State is still finalizing the terms of the sign-and-trade that would land the four-time champion in Dallas. It would also take the willingness of the Charlotte Hornets to get this deal done. For the Hornets, Josh Green was sent to them.

However, multiple insiders have noted that this deal should be completed soon, and the terms of this trade/agreement will be publicized.

Per Brett Siegel, Klay Thompson will be a member of the Dallas Mavericks no matter what.
