Kyrie Irving, point guard of the Dallas Mavericks, will not return for the final stretch of the current season.
The former Duke standout released a statement through the team’s official website:
“This decision wasn’t easy, but it’s the right one,” Irving said. “I am grateful for the Mavericks organization, my teammates and our fans for their continued support throughout the process. I am looking forward to coming back stronger next season. The belief and drive I have inside only grows.
And I wanted to send a huge shoutout to ALL of my brothers and sisters out there who’ve torn their ACL or gotten injured doing what they love to do every day. THANK YOU for the inspiration. No fear!”
Dallas currently sits 12th in the Western Conference with 19 wins in 54 games.
Head coach Jason Kidd and his staff will likely use the remainder of the regular season to evaluate which players can be part of the franchise’s long-term plans alongside the duo of Irving and Cooper Flagg.
