Dallas Mavericks fans can breathe a sigh of relief as there is hope that star player Kyrie Irving could make a triumphant return from his torn left ACL by January 2026. Sources suggest Irving may be back on the court for a substantial part of the 2025-26 season, following a successful surgery in March. Despite the setback, Irving showcased his elite skills this season, averaging nearly 25 points per game and earning his ninth All-Star nod.
The Mavericks are looking to secure Irving's future with a new three-year deal, aiming to align his contract with key figures like Anthony Davis and GM Nico Harrison. Known for his scoring prowess and efficiency, Irving joins an elite group of players with multiple seasons of at least 20 points, 40% 3-point shooting, and 90% free throw shooting. His absence on the court has been notable, especially after taking on a heavy workload following Luka Doncic's departure. Mavericks fans eagerly anticipate Irving's return, hopeful for a strong comeback in the upcoming season.
