The All-Star NBA vacation could not come to a more perfect moment for Dallas Maverix as they deal with injuries to more than half of their list. In Dallas’s last match before the All-Star break last Thursday, they dealt with nine injuries, but still shockingly won 118-113 against Miami Heat.
Although Mavericks has won four of its last five games, the recent concern about the injury has reached the highest level, as the team has announced that Daniel Gafford will miss the next six weeks with a terrible MCL dislocation.
Not only does Gafford’s injury shed light on Dallas’s variable list when they are not healthy, it also exposes the lack of depth of team security. While Dallas stays on sailing after the trading deadline, they largely rely on the fact that they play in the difficult minutes of Kiri Irving, which may be unrealistic for the rest of the season.
Although they play season for the season in minutes this month, Irving’s game is only thriving, resulting in his ninth nod at All-Star. While in the All-Star game, Irving described his plans for the 2028 Olympics in detail and his answer could excite fans.
Irving is considering playing for Australia in 2028. Summer Olympics
In the recent availability of the media over the weekend, Irving describes in detail that he is currently in the process of finding a way to play for the Australian national team.
“We are currently in the process, we’re just trying to figure out what the best route will be for me to be right,” Irving said in response to a potential game for Australia in the future. “If at one point I could be Aussie … that would be great.”
Kiri Irving was asked for a potential game for Australia at the 2028 Olympics, along with his choice of whom he would like to play in the US game against the World All-Star:

Irving did not deviate from international basketball in the past as he spent the summer of summer in 2014 and 2016 in the team of the US and FIBA team. In these two events, Irving won two gold medals and turned out to be one of the best guards on the US team of all time.
Irving is an average of over 12 points per game in both events and shot the ball at elite speed as it shows its elite handles and touches the rim.
Most recently, Irving tried to join the Olympic team in 2024, but was doubted in favor of the injured Cowhi Leonard, which would later be cut off from the US team list due to concerns about injuries. Irving would undoubtedly help his US colleagues win another gold medal in addition to the extraction of one of the most impressive international quarries of all time, and he made it clear that he missed the days when players had to break through For Team USA.
Team USA may have never given Irving to compete in the list, but his homeland of Australia seems to be a future destination for Irving to compete if the Team US does not invite him to play. Born from Melbourne, Australia, Irving is often interested in playing for Australia throughout his professional career.
2028 may finally be the year in which the Australians will see Irving in a bubble T -shirt, although the Olympics is so far away. During the 2028 Summer Olympics, Irving will be 36 years old, which is a huge commitment to a player with the generic of Irving.
While Irving expressed interest in playing for his country, a three -year commitment may be too far in the future to allow Irving to be fully engaged at this point. However, Irving’s comments about Australia’s potential performance made fans buzz about what he could do on the international scene like Aussie.
Irving will undoubtedly become the biggest superstar in Australia, which represents its country and will add an incredible depth of security to the Boomer squad. It is not certain whether Irving’s addition would make Australia a gold medal contender, but they are no doubt a team to keep the radar as a potential candidate for a dark horse.
