Mavs Hopeful Kyrie Irving Will Practice Full Speed This Season

The Dallas Mavericks are "hopeful" that Kyrie Irving will be able to participate in a full-speed practice before the end of this season, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

Irving announced last week that he will miss the rest of the year as he recovers from a torn ACL.

The Mavs are 20-36 on the season.

It was also reported on Monday that the Mavs are letting Khris Middleton decide whether he wants to stay with the team for the rest of the year or seek a buyout.
