Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving suffered a right heel contusion after teammate Dwight Powell landed on his right leg during a game against the Trail Blazers. Irving is wearing a protective boot and using crutches, and there is no definitive timetable for his return. He is beginning treatment on the heel, and the team is awaiting further updates on the extent of the injury. Tests showed that Irving avoided a substantial injury, and he remains in great spirits despite the injury. The Mavericks are fortunate that the injury is just a bruise, and Irving's status for future games is yet to be determined. The team is spending the night in Portland before flying back to Dallas, and Irving is still at the arena. There is no return timetable yet, and he is set to undergo an MRI on his injured right leg.
