Kyrie Irving tore his ACL last March and had surgery a few weeks later. His recovery has been going well by all accounts with former Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison previously saying he was "ahead of schedule,' which was great news considering Dallas gave Irving a three-year contract extension in June.
Irving was back on the court by the end of August and earlier this season Jason Kidd said he hoped Irving would be back by the end of the year. Not the season. The year.
