Kyrie Irving recently suffered a left-hand injury during an offseason workout that required surgery, as reported by the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday evening. The team did not disclose a specific timeline for Irving’s recovery.
Irving, alongside Luka Doncic, propelled the Mavericks to the NBA Finals in their initial complete season playing together, ultimately losing to Boston in a five-game championship series. Despite grappling with foot, heel, and thumb injuries, 32-year-old Irving maintained an average of 25.6 points over 58 regular-season games.
This season marked Irving’s most profound playoff journey since his Cleveland finals appearance in 2017, contributing significantly to the Mavericks’ first NBA Finals berth since their 2011 championship victory. The Mavericks stated that updates on Irving’s condition would be shared accordingly, with the start of training camp approaching in approximately 2 1/2 months.
