"Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving will miss the remainder of the season as he continues to recover from knee surgery last March, his agent told ESPN's Shams Charania. Irving, who underwent surgery last March 2026 to repair a torn left ACL, has not played this season. The nine-time All-Star is expected to return for the 2026-27 season. "This is about Kyrie being 1000% when he comes back and giving himself the best chance to chase a championship next season," his agent, Shetellia Riley Irving, told Charania."
"The Mavericks are 75-53 with Irving in the lineup since the 15-year veteran joined the franchise during the 2022-23 season. Conversely, they are just 42-75 in games that Irving misses. The Mavericks are fourth in the Southwest Division with a 19-35 record entering the post-All-Star break portion of their schedule. Dallas signaled its intention to rebuild earlier this month with the trade of Anthony Davis, who was dealt to the Washington Wizards in a nine-player blockbuster."
Kyrie Irving will miss the remainder of the season as he continues to recover from ACL surgery performed in March 2026. The nine-time All-Star has not played this season and is expected to return for the 2026-27 season. His agent emphasized a full recovery and championship focus for his return. Irving, 33, also missed the final 20 games of the previous season following the injury. The Mavericks have a significantly better record with Irving in the lineup than without him. The team sits fourth in the Southwest Division at 19-35 and recently made a major trade signaling a rebuild.
