Kyrie Irving undergoes surgery, when will the point guard return to action?
Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving recently underwent surgery to repair a broken left hand suffered earlier this month while he was training, the Mavs confirmed on Tuesday.
The beaten finalists in the NBA 2024-25 Championship offered no schedule or timeline for the 32-year-old’s return to action but ESPN later reported the Mavericks are optimistic Irving will be ready for the start of training camp in a couple of months.

The eight-time All-Star was instrumental along with Slovenian team mate Luka Doncic in Dallas’ run to the NBA Finals, where the Mavericks lost to the Boston Celtics in five games last month. Irving averaged 22.1 points and 5.1 assists in 22 playoff games after putting up 25.6 points and 5.2 assists during the regular season. He was seeking his second NBA championship after winning one with Cleveland in 2016 after The Cavaliers selected him No. 1 overall in 2011.
In 13 NBA seasons, Irving has averaged 23.6 points and 5.7 assists with Cleveland, Boston, the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas. He joined the Mavericks in a trade with the Nets in February 2023 and later signed an extension with Dallas the following offseason.
He also reportedly played a key role in luring free agent Klay Thompson to Dallas earlier this month after Thompson had spent his entire career with Golden State Warriors.
