Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Suffers torn ACL

Irving (knee) suffered a torn ACL during Monday's loss to the Kings, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

This is a devastating injury for the 32-year-old guard, who was attempting to will the Mavericks to the postseason following the trade of Luka Doncic and subsequent injury to Anthony Davis (thigh). For the remainder of this season, guards like Spencer Dinwiddie, Max Christie, Dante Exum and Jaden Hardy (ankle) will presumably take on more usage. However, this is an injury that will extend into next season and will most likely keep Irving out until around the 2026 New Year.
