Kyrie Irving, a nine-time NBA All-Star, will miss the rest of the season because of a broken anterior cruciate ligament.
In Texas, Irving was beaten by the Sacramento Kings on Monday, 122-98.
The 32-year-old guard has featured in 50 of Dallas’ 62 games this season, helping them to finish 10th in the Western Conference.
You are resilient, Kai. You are known for your excellence, leadership, and dedication. The Dallas Mavericks posted a message on X that they are confident that you will come back stronger than ever.
Irving hopped as he recovered from the injury and made two free throws before going out.
The number one draft pick in 2023, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, will likely miss the rest of the season, while Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will also be sidelined for the season with a knee injury, while the latter has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, which will likely make him miss the rest of the season.
This season, Irving has compiled a total of 24.7 points, 4.8% rebounds, and 4.6% assists.
In addition, reserve guard Jaden Hardy injured his right ankle on Monday in the third quarter.
