Kyrie Irving, Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Mavericks fans
Kyrie IrvingThe season is over. Thus, also, for all useful purposes, is the Maladder“As a discouraging year has become disastrous. Tests revealed Irving torn his ACL in Monday’s defeat against the Kiss; He had left with what was initially governed A knee sprain.
It is as bad as possible. Irving was carrying the team practiced injuries for several weeks, especially following the Luka Dovantic-Anthony Davis Trade after Davis was injured during its beginnings in Dallas. Davis would have approached a return.
Now everything is not for nothing; Discussions on Davis will not return this season at all, would have started after the news of Irving, and Jasmyn Wimbish says that Dallas No other option than for tank.

Before Dončić’s trade, an end -of -season injury to Irving would have been a blow for its title chances, but, since the team seemed to be a few months from the signing of one of the three best players of the League to a long -term extension when it approached its first years. last.
Finally, the race from the 10th to the West I became more interesting.
