Mavericks Fans Furious as Kyrie Irving Gets Snubbed from 2025 NBA All-Star Game
The 2025 NBA All-Star reserves were revealed Thursday night on TNT, and one name was shockingly missing—Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving. Despite putting up All-Star-caliber numbers, the 32-year-old guard was left off the Western Conference roster, sparking outrage among Mavericks fans.
Kyrie Irving’s All-Star-Worthy Stats Ignored?
Irving has been a key force for Dallas this season, averaging 24.2 points, 4.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting an impressive 48.2% from the field and 41.9% from deep. Even with the Mavericks battling injuries, Irving has helped keep them afloat at 26-22, making his exclusion even more surprising.
Mavericks Fans React to Kyrie’s All-Star Snub
Mavs fans wasted no time expressing their frustration online:
🚨 “BREAKING: Kyrie Irving has officially been SNUBBED from the 2025 All-Star team… Kyrie is averaging 24 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds per game on 48/42/90% splits. Embarrassing. Do better @NBA,” one fan ranted on X (formerly Twitter).
🔥 “Kyrie Irving WASN’T selected to play in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. ROBBED,” another Mavericks supporter declared.
💥 “YOU WANNA KNOW WHY THE NBA IS LOSING RATINGS!? LUKA DONCIC & KYRIE IRVING WERE SNUBBED FROM THE NBA ALL-STAR GAME,” a Dallas Nation post read.
Motivation for a Statement Game?
While Luka Doncic’s omission is understandable due to injuries (playing just 22 of the team’s 48 games), Irving has been far more available, suiting up in 38 games. His numbers suggest he deserved a spot, making this decision even more baffling.
With the Mavericks facing the Detroit Pistons on Friday, don’t be surprised if Irving comes out with a vengeance to prove why he belonged in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.
