Rival teams are still keeping close tabs on Kyrie Irving's situation with the Dallas Mavericks, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

Irving missed last season due to a torn ACL.

The Mavs previously stated that they are not interested in trading Irving, with Masai Ujiri discussing how the point guard will fit with Cooper Flagg.

Mavs assistant Phil Handy leaving for the Sixers was seen as a small yet notable factor for teams potentially interested in Irving.

Stein also adds that the Mavs let go of vice president of strategy and analytics Andrew Baker and director of pro player personnel Makhtar Ndiaye earlier this month.
