Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving will return Monday night against the Utah Jazz after missing the previous 12 games due to a right heel contusion.
Mavs coach Jason Kidd told reporters in Salt Lake City that Irving would not have a minutes restriction.
Irving sustained the injury on Dec. 8 when teammate Dwight Powell inadvertently fell on him during a win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Mavs went 6-6 during the stretch without Irving. Perennial All-Star guard Luka Doncic averaged 38.
