NBA Free Agency Rumors: Dallas Mavericks Target $10.46 million San Antonio Spurs star as Kyrie Irving's Injury Shakes Up Backcourt Plans After ACL Setback
Dallas Mavericks could bag a strong guard (Image via USA TODAY Sports) The Dallas Mavericks face a critical offseason decision after Kyrie Irving's ACL injury left their backcourt in disarray. With Irving sidelined until at least January 2026, the team is exploring veteran options, with Chris Paul emerging as a top target. Kyrie Irving's injury timeline creates uncertainty Kyrie Irving's season-ending ACL injury has forced the Mavericks to reassess their guard rotation. Before the injury, Irving was a key contributor with averages of: - 24.7 points per game - 4.8 rebounds per game - 4.6 assists per game Medical experts suggest a potential January 2026 return, but no guarantees have been made. This leaves Dallas in a tough spot, especially with Irving's contract negotiations pending. The team must decide whether to rely on his long-term recovery or seek immediate reinforcements. Chris Paul becomes a viable short-term solution for the Dallas Mavericks Chris Paul (Image via Imagn) The Dallas Mavericks have been linked to Chris Paul, who just completed a surprisingly durable season with the San Antonio Spurs. At 40 years old, Paul played all 82 games for the first time in his career, posting solid numbers: Stat Average Points 8.7 Assists 7.6 Steals 1.3 Field goal % 42.7 Three-point % 37.7 NBA insider Marc Stein reports that Dallas sees Chris Paul as an ideal stopgap. His leadership, playmaking, and ability to mentor younger guards make him a strong fit. Additionally, his willingness to accept a veteran minimum deal would help the Mavericks manage their salary cap. Dallas Mavericks considering multiple guard options While Paul is a leading candidate, the Dallas Mavericks are also exploring other options: - Jrue Holiday (Trade Target) – A proven two-way guard who could bolster Dallas' defense. - Lonzo Ball (Health-Dependent) – A high-risk, high-reward option if he recovers fully from his knee issues. However, Chris Paul's durability and experience give him an edge in Dallas' search for stability. What this means for the Mavericks' future Irving's injury has forced the Mavericks into a contingency plan. If they sign Paul, they gain a proven floor general who can keep them competitive in the West while Irving recovers. His presence would also ease the pressure on Luka Dončić, allowing the Mavericks to remain playoff contenders.

Whether they land Paul or another guard, their backcourt decisions will shape their trajectory for the next season and beyond.

Why is antisemitism so pervasive? Irving v Lipstadt 25 years on
This spring marks the 25th anniversary of the landmark judgment in the infamous Irving v Lipstadt Holocaust denial case. David Irving sued American academic Deborah Lipstadt after she had described him as a Holocaust denier in her 1994 book, for his claims that Jews had not been systematically exterminated by the Nazis. Given the burden of proof in English libel law being on the defence, it was up to Lipstadt and her publisher Penguin to prove her claims were true that Irving had deliberately misrepresented evidence. In 2000, the Judge found in her favour. Deborah Lipstadt and the lawyers that represented her, Anthony Julius and James Libson, join Michael Gove for this special edition of Coffee House Shots to provide their reflections: on the trial, on what it's like to go to court over something that's widely accepted as settled historical truth, and to discuss why they think antisemitism flourishes in so many forms. They also talk about why the principles of the case are ever more important today as they were 25 years ago. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

'I wish Mark all the best with his recovery and am reassured the administration's work will continue as planned until he returns,' she said.

Alex Coppel Credit: News Corp Australia Mr Irving was appointed the role in August 2024 after the Albanese government placed the union's construction and general division into administration following several allegations of union official using standover tactics, violence and corruption. During his three-year term, he will receive a total salary package of $643,640 a year, or about $1.9m over his tenure. The fees will be paid by union member fees, with some union heavyweights opposing the forced takeover. In October, Nine newspapers reported Mr Irving had been subjected to death threats due to his work with the union, with a spokesperson for the administration saying it work 'will not be distracted or diverted'. Former CFMEU national boss Zach Smith announced he would be departing the union last week. NewsWire/ Aaron Francis Credit: News Corp Australia Former CFMEU national chief Zach Smith also announced his departure from the union last week, a role he has held since March 2023. In a statement to members, Mr Smith said it was a 'time for tough decisions' and said he could not 'do justice' as both national secretary and as the acting Victorian branch secretary, previously held by disgraced union boss John Setka. He also described the administration as a 'tough chapter' in the CFMEU's 'proud history 'I have also decided that while I am willing to take responsibility for decision I make, I cannot be asked to take responsibility for decisions that are not mine,' he said.
