Kyrie Irving has no restrictions after 19-month ACL recovery

Kyrie Irving, the Dallas Mavericks' point guard wearing jersey #11, confirmed that he feels no physical limitations after returning from a 19‑month recovery from a torn left‑knee ACL. The injury report still lists him as Day‑To‑Day, with an expected return date of October 9, 2026, but his own assessment suggests he can practice and play without restriction.

The Mavericks are currently 26‑56, sitting 12th in the Western Conference and ranked 21st in overall power. They have a net rating of –5.4 and have won one of their last two games, going 3‑7 in the past ten. Irving’s unrestricted status could provide a boost to a team that has struggled offensively, and his presence will be a key factor to watch as Dallas attempts to improve its standing before the season concludes.
