Kyrie Irving Surgery Went Well, 9-12 Months Recovery

Kyrie Irving, a nine-time NBA All-Star and Dallas Mavericks guard, suffered a torn left ACL during a game against the Sacramento Kings on March 3, 2025, ending his season after appearing in 50 of 62 games.

The surgery, performed by Dr. Riley J. Williams at the Hospital for Special Surgery, confirmed no additional damage to Irving’s meniscus or other knee structures, setting a recovery timeline of 9-12 months with a potential return by late 2026.

Irving’s injury is a significant blow to the Mavericks, who are already dealing with multiple injuries to key players like Anthony Davis and Daniel Gafford, impacting their NBA title odds from 66-1 to 200-1.
