Kyrie Irving came out for the rest of Mavs’s season; Knee lesion diagnosed as broken ACL

After the Guardian from Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving, seemed to suffer a devastating knee injury in Monday night’s loss of Sacramento Kings, the team had the most serious confirmed fears.

The MAVs announced on Tuesday that Irving was diagnosed with a torn ACL after it was initially diagnosed with a left knee sprain.

Espn Shams Charania He first reported that Irving’s season ended.

Irving suffered the late injury in the first quarter of the match on Monday night, when he was penalized on his left knee. He had to be helped back to his feet and made two free throws, with tears that were rolled on his face before being helped back to the locker room. Dallas continued to undergo a loss of 122-98 against Sacramento, the fourth loss in the last five games.

The lesion ends what turns to be a star season for Irving, which ends with 24.7 points, 4.8 recovery and 4.6 assistance. Espn Bobby Marks He stressed that the 32-year-old is no longer eligible for all-nba honors, as well as for $ 2 million in games bonuses. He has an option of $ 43 million for season 2025-26 and remains to be seen how this injury will affect his decisions.

Dallas will also be without the guard Jaden Hardy “for a period of time”, after suffering an ankle sprain on Monday evening, according to NBA Insider Chris Haynes.

This marks the latest delay for the MAVs following their shocking trade of star guard Luka Dončić at Los Angeles Lakers.

The Star Anthony Davis center, which was the key purchase from the Dončić shipping, lasted only three quarters in his debut in Dallas, before suffering a stem that excluded it endlessly. The veteran center Daniel Gafford later suffered a spinned MCL that excluded it for at least six weeks. The striker Caleb Martin, who was purchased from Philadelphia 76ers at the commercial term, has not yet wore a MAVS uniform, remaining on the side with an injury to the hip.

Meanwhile, Dončić thrives with Lakers, who have won six direct games and is now in the second place in the Western Conference with a 38-21 record.

After falling at 32-30 after the loss of Monday, Dallas clings to the 10th place in the West. It would not be a surprise if Irving’s loss makes Mavs down in the standings.
