Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving successfully underwent surgery on his torn left ACL at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. The operation was performed by Dr. Riley J. Williams, the hospital’s Chief of Sports Medicine.
Irving suffered the injury during a game against the Sacramento Kings on March 3, 2025. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic, stating, “I will be OK.” Medical experts estimate that his rehabilitation process could take anywhere from seven months to a year.
The Mavericks have encountered multiple challenges this season, including the recent trade of Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers and injuries to other key players like Anthony Davis, who is expected to return during the team’s current road trip. Meanwhile, Dallas is still in the hunt for a playoff spot, currently tied with the Phoenix Suns for the 10th seed in the Western Conference.
As the team navigates these difficulties, fans and analysts continue to monitor their performance closely.
