Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving said that he is right on schedule in his recovery from ACL surgery.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said that Irving is doing "quite well" but that he wants to be cautious about speeding up the timeline. There is currently no target date for his return. While he is sidelined, D'Angelo Russell is expected to start at point guard for the Mavericks.

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.
