Irving missed the entirety of the 2025-26 NBA season due to a knee injury he suffered the previous year, which was a bummer for Mavericks fans, and basketball fans in general.<\/p>\n

Kyrie Irving says he’s ‘close’ to 100 percent in ACL recovery<\/p>\n

But, the good news is that Irving has made great strides in his recovery. During a recent internet stream, the star guard said that he is close to 100 percent healthy after ample time to rest and rehab.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am definitely close to being over at 100% in terms of my ACL recovery,\u201d\u00a0Irving said while speaking on Twitch<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s been a while now\u2026I\u2019m so grateful that I\u2019ve had the time to heal & just experiment with my body more on the court and off the court in the weight room & just pushing myself to the limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given this update, it certainly sounds like Irving will be ready for the start of next season, barring any setbacks.<\/p>\n

Speaking of next season, there was some speculation that the Mavs could look to trade Irving over the offseason in order to acquire additional assets for a full rebuild around Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg, but that might not be the case.<\/p>\n

New Mavericks president Masai Ujiri\u00a0expressed a desire<\/a>\u00a0to hang onto Irving to see how he fits alongside Flagg.<\/p>\n

“Kevin Durant once told me that there\u2019s only one Kyrie Irving walking around in the world,\u201d Ujiri said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have to figure out a way, how Kyrie fits with our program. I\u2019ve had those conversations with Kyrie, up till yesterday and I think Kyrie will fit. There\u2019s a huge curiosity in our minds to see how Kyrie fits playing with Cooper Flagg \u2026 and I think we owe that to this organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things could always change, but it sounds like we should expect to see a healthy Irving in a Mavericks uniform at the onset of the ’26-27 season.<\/p>\n
