Dallas Mavericks reaffirm Kyrie Irving stays, reject trade offers

Kyrie Irving Dallas Mavericks trade rumors Detroit Pistons Minnesota Timberwolves

The Dallas Mavericks have confirmed that Kyrie Irving will not be traded, despite inquiries from other NBA clubs. Early in free agency the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves contacted Dallas to gauge Irving's availability, but the Mavericks told all parties the All‑Star point guard is not on the trade block.

Irving missed the 2025‑26 season after tearing his ACL and is expected to return for the 2026‑27 campaign. Trade speculation also tied his fate to LeBron James' free‑agency moves, but James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, ending the most plausible scenario for an Irving‑James swap.

Dallas maintains its commitment to the Irving‑Cooper Flagg backcourt pairing and indicated no plans to alter that strategy in the near term.
