The Mavericks are optimistic that Irving (knee) could return by the start of January, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Irving tore his left ACL in early March and underwent surgery on the injury. While he's still expected to miss a significant chunk of the 2025-2026 campaign, there's optimism he could be back on the court before the calendar flips to 2026. Of course, it's very early in his recovery, and he'll have to avoid setbacks throughout the summer and fall in order to remain on schedule. However, Charania's report is a good sign for Irving's fantasy value next season.

Kyrie Irving Latest News
Aiming to be back by January

The Mavericks are optimistic that Irving (knee) could return by the start of January, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Irving tore his left ACL in early March and underwent surgery on the injury. While he's still expected to miss a significant chunk of the 2025-2026 campaign, there's optimism he could be back on the court before the calendar flips to 2026. Of course, it's very early in his recovery, and he'll have to avoid setbacks throughout the summer and fall in order to remain on schedule. However, Charania's report is a good sign for Irving's fantasy value next season.
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.
Won't return Monday

Irving won't return to Monday's matchup against the Kings due to a sprained left knee, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Irving was unable to walk off the court under his own power after sustaining the left knee injury on a drive to the basket. He finished the game with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one assist before exiting to the locker room in the first quarter. The superstar will likely undergo further testing before Wednesday's game against the Bucks, and with Irving sidelined for the remainder of Monday's game at the very least, Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie are candidates to see a bump in minutes.
Helped back to locker room Monday

Irving exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left knee injury during the first quarter of Monday's game against the Kings, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports. Irving appeared to injure his left knee while driving to the basket, and he stayed down for an extended period with teammates and medical staff surrounding him. The superstar was unable to walk off the court under his own power, though he stayed in the game to shoot two from the charity stripe before the medical staff came back out and helped him to the locker room. Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie are candidates for an uptick in playing time if Irving is unable to return.
Hits for game-high 31 in loss

Irving ended with 31 points (9-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 132-117 loss to Milwaukee. The veteran guard led all scorers on the night as he delivered at least 30 points for the fifth time in seven appearances since Anthony Davis (thigh) was shut down. Over that stretch, Irving has averaged 30.7 points, 6.3 boards, 3.9 assists, 3.4 threes, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks while operating mainly as a solo act in the Dallas offense.
Stuffs stat sheet in win

Irving recorded 25 points (11-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 103-96 win over the Hornets. Irving's 25 points led the team, and he also stuffed the stat sheet Thursday. Over his last nine games, the superstar guard has averaged a stellar 27.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.9 steals, 1.1 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers in 39.4 minutes. As long as the 32-year-old is able to handle such heavy workloads, Irving should continue experiencing a boost in usage and fantasy value as the focal point of Dallas' offense until Anthony Davis (adductor) comes off the shelf.
Logs 35 points in losing effort

Irving posted 35 points (12-27 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 107-99 loss to the Lakers. Irving rose to the occasion in Los Angeles as he faced his former teammate, but it wasn't enough to seal a win for the short-handed Mavericks. Irving was once on LeBron James' wish list, but Doncic's arrival and Austin Reaves' standout play makes an eventual reunion for the duo unlikely in the offseason. In the meantime, Irving's output will be essential as the team struggles to stay relevant in the playoff race.
Scores 35 points against NOLA

Irving finished 111-103 win over the Pelicans with 35 points (11-22 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one block over 37 minutes. Irving was playing his best basketball prior to the All-Star break, and the superstar point guard didn't seem to miss a beat Friday as he led both teams in scoring while connecting on at least five three-pointers for the 11th time this season. Irving has scored at least 30 points in each of his last three games, and over that span he has shot 51.4 percent from the field and 48.3 percent from beyond the arc. Irving's efforts have helped the Mavericks win five of their last six games, and they'll look to continue that momentum into Sunday's game against Stephen Curry and the Warriors.
Makes impact in All-Star Game

Irving (shoulder) logged seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in eight minutes of action during Sunday's 41-25 All-Star Game final win over Chuck's Global Stars. Irving made his presence felt in limited action in both games of the All-Star mini-tournament, totaling 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals in just 15 minutes across the two contests. Irving has been dealing with a shoulder issue of late, but it seems as if he should be available when the Mavericks return to play Friday against the Pelicans.
