Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving Undergoes Surgery to Repair Fracture in Left Hand
Dallas, Texas – Kyrie Irving, the eight-time All-Star point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, has undergone surgery to repair a fracture in his left hand, an injury he suffered while training earlier this month.
According to an official statement from the Mavericks, there has been no indication provided regarding the severity of the injury or if Irving will recover in time to start the next season. Sources within the franchise have expressed optimism, stating that Irving is expected to make a full recovery by the start of training in about two and a half months.
Irving played a crucial role in the Mavericks reaching the NBA Finals last season, averaging 22.2 points and 5.1 assists per game in the playoffs. He also made significant contributions to the team’s regular-season performance, averaging 25.6 points and 5.2 assists per game.
Perhaps most notably, Irving’s performance has been cited as an important factor in the Mavericks’ ability to sign Klay Thompson, a star guard from the Golden State Warriors, in free agency earlier this year.
No further updates on Irving’s recovery or expected return have been provided at this time.
