An NBA insider has reportedly guaranteed that the Miami Heat are actively pursuing a trade for Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving, though Dallas has so far rejected all trade inquiries regarding the eight-time All-Star.
The report, published by ClutchPoints on November 4, 2026, cites an unnamed league source who made the guarantee about Miami's interest. Irving, who joined the Mavericks in 2023, has a player option for the 2026-27 season that could make him an unrestricted free agent next summer.
Dallas has reportedly turned down multiple calls from interested teams, signaling a desire to keep the 32-year-old point guard alongside Luka Dončić. The Heat, meanwhile, continue to search for a second star to pair with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo after falling short in recent playoff runs.
No specific trade framework or timeline was disclosed in the report.
