Eligibility
Availability
Kyrie Irving is declining his $43 million player option and intends to sign a three-year, $119 million contract with the Mavericks.
Fantasy Impact
Irving will now remain in Dallas through the 2027-28 season. He is expected to miss the start of next season as he works his way back from a torn ACL. He'll be joining Anthony Davis and the likely No. 1 overall pick in Cooper Flagg on the court when he is healthy.
The Dallas Mavericks anticipate Kyrie Irving will return for a significant portion of next season, with January viewed as a realistic target.
Fantasy Impact
Irving is recovering from a torn left ACL, a surgery he underwent on March 26. His recovery timeline suggests he could miss the first two to three months of the 2025-26 season, but optimism surrounding a potential January return makes him a possible midseason difference-maker. Redraft fantasy managers may want to stash him in IR spots or monitor his progress, while dynasty and keeper league managers should hold onto him. A healthy Irving could still provide top-tier value in the second half of the season.
Kyrie Irving underwent successful surgery to repair his torn left ACL on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Irving tore his ACL back in the first week of March. He should make a full recovery for the start of next season.
Kyrie Irving suffered a torn ACL in Monday's game against the Kings and will miss the rest of the season.
Fantasy Impact
It is a brutal blow for Irving and the Mavericks who had already been going through enough following the trade of Luka Doncic. Max Christie and Klay Thompson should take on bigger roles in the back court for Dallas.
Kyrie Irving (knee) won't return to Monday night's game against the Sacramento Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Irving went down with a knee injury during Monday night's game and will not be able to return against the Kings. It has been diagnosed as a sprained knee, which may very well leave him sidelined for a little while as he recovers. The Mavs are already plagued with injuries at this point in the season, so losing their star guard will be a tough challenge for them to handle if he has to miss real time.
