獨行俠對Kyrie Irving可以在明年一月左右復出感樂觀 有意與他提前續約

名記Shams Charania今日在ESPN的NBA Countdown節目中聊到了獨行俠後衛Kyrie Irving的情況。

Kyrie Irving此前遭遇了左膝前十字韌帶撕裂的重傷而賽季報銷，預計需要缺陣至下個賽季。獨行俠方面希望謹慎對待Kyrie Irving的傷勢，確保他完全康復。Shams Charania指出，獨行俠對這名33歲後衛在明年一月前後復出持樂觀態度。

此外，下季為Kyrie Irving合約最後一季，他將會擁有4400萬美元左右的球員選項。Shams Charania透露，獨行俠希望這名控衛放棄明年的球員選項，並重新續約3年，確保他的合約年期與總經理Nico Harrison以及Anthony Davis剩下的合約年期保持一致。

引用"The expectation around the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving, is that he will play a good chunk of next season," said Shams Charania. "There is optimism that he will be back by January.

"He's got, before that, a $45 million player option. That's the next situation that Nico Harrison and the Mavericks will have to deal with. The goal for the Mavericks has been to rip up his player option and give him a three-year deal potentially. To align him with Nico Harrison's three years and Anthony Davis' three years."

Kyrie Irving今季出戰50場比賽，場均上場36.1分鐘，貢獻24.7分、4.8個籃板、4.7次助攻、1.3次抄截、投籃命中率47.3%，三分命中率41.0%。
