What happened: P.J. Washington joined Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II at Dallas Media Day ahead of the 2026-27 season. Media Day is the club's first formal availability before training camp opens.

Why it matters: Irving continues working back from a 2025 ACL injury entering the season. Dallas has told teams Irving is unavailable in trade talks, keeping the veteran group intact around Flagg.

What to watch: Dallas now heads into training camp ahead of the preseason schedule.
