Kyrie Irving Undergoes Successful ACL Surgery as Mavs Battle Injury Crisis

Surgery on Wednesday, 27 March 2025

Kyrie Irving underwent successful surgery to repair his torn left ACL in New York. There was no additional ligament or meniscus damage, and recovery now begins.
The surgery, performed by Dr. Riley J. Williams, comes as a major blow to the Mavericks’ playoff hopes. Irving had been the team’s best player before the injury, averaging 24.7 PPG, 4.8 RPG, and 4.6 APG while posting elite shooting splits (40% 3PT, 90% FT). Since the ACL tear, Dallas has gone 3-8 and dropped to 35-38, barely hanging onto a Play-In spot. His absence has compounded a wave of injuries: Anthony Davis recently returned after a six-week layoff, while Daniel Gafford, Dante Exum, and Caleb Martin remain sidelined. Irving holds a $43.9M player option for 2025-26.

Davis is listed as doubtful for Monday night’s game against Brooklyn, signaling a possible return after missing six weeks due to a groin injury suffered in his Mavericks debut on Feb. 8.
Despite Kyrie Irving being ruled out for the season (torn ACL), Davis has remained active on road trips and in team activities. The Mavericks are battling Phoenix for 10th in the West. Davis had 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists before re-injuring himself during his Dallas debut. A return on the current four-game road trip is likely.

The Mavericks have been dealing with a depleted roster, often playing with the league-minimum eight available players due to injuries, including Davis’ extended absence.
With limited practice time available, the team is relying on Davis’ G League assignment to accelerate his return. He has played 43 games this season, averaging 25.7 points, 15.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.2 blocks. His return is crucial as the Mavericks push for playoff positioning.

The 10-time All-Star has played just one game for the Mavericks since being acquired in the Luka Dončić trade. He last played on Feb. 8, scoring 16 points, 7 assists, and 3 blocks before exiting with the injury.
