Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, the team announced, putting an abrupt halt to what had been an outstanding season.

The injury occurred during a recent game when Irving landed awkwardly, immediately signaling discomfort. Despite the setback, he composed himself to sink two free throws before exiting the court with assistance.

This injury presents a major challenge for the Mavericks, who have relied on Irving’s scoring and playmaking as they push for a deep playoff run.

In 50 games this season, the eight-time All-Star has averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game while maintaining elite efficiency—making him the only player in the league averaging at least 20 points while shooting 40% from three-point range and 90% from the free-throw line.

He had also been in top form recently, scoring over 30 points in five of his last eight outings.

Irving’s absence leaves a significant void in the Mavericks’ backcourt, adding pressure on Luka Dončić and the rest of the roster to compensate for his production.

The timeline for his return remains unclear, with recovery from an ACL tear typically requiring months of rehabilitation.

Beyond the NBA, Irving has an impressive international resume.

He played a pivotal role in Team USA’s gold medal triumph at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, where he was named tournament MVP. He also helped the U.S. win gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, showcasing his ability to shine on basketball’s biggest stages.
