Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving is reportedly playing through a foot injury amid the team's playoff push, per Shams Charania.

“Kyrie Irving suffered a right foot injury on March 8th,” Charania said. “I'm told he's been playing through and gutting out plantar fasciitis in his right foot. I'm told this is not considered to be a structural matter, more of a day-to-day pain tolerance nagging injury that he's playing through.”

Irving is averaging over 28 points per contest in 13 games played for the Mavs since being acquired from the Brooklyn Nets. He's been a key piece to the puzzle when on the floor, and his presence will continue to be crucial moving forward.

Charania later revealed what a Mavs' executive told him in regards to Kyrie Irving's preparation.
