Kyrie Irving was asked on stream if he’d be back with the Mavs in time for the Playoffs: “Don’t hold your breath on that…I just want to be back 150,000% better. I’m taking my time right now to really get healthy” (h/t @SwishAccess) https://t.co/OTXQq3okgu
Kyrie Irving, who tore his left ACL on March 3, has provided an update on his recovery and return to the Dallas Mavericks. Irving stated that he is not making any predictions about when he will be back on the court, emphasizing that he is focused on taking his time to fully recover and get healthy. He expressed his desire to return "150,000% better" rather than rushing back prematurely. Irving is currently re-signing with Dallas on a three-year contract worth $119 million. The Mavericks and many other teams are anticipating a gap year due to his absence, and Irving's comments suggest he will likely miss the remainder of the current season, including the playoffs.
