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.

A healthy Irving could still provide top-tier value in the second half of the season.
