Just when one thought things couldn’t get any worse for the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving will now miss the remainder of the season. Irving suffered a torn ACL on March 3rd in a loss to the Sacramento Kings. The star guard suffered the knee injury on a drive to the basket where he was fouled. To his credit, he still knocked down his free throws before exiting the game. Irving was also expected to decline his $43.96 million player option. This also came with the expectation of returning to Dallas on a long-term deal. A tough break for a superstar guard who was arguably having his best year since the 2022-23 campaign.
