Kyrie Irving done for the season...

Shams Charania: Breaking: Dallas Mavericks All-Star Kyrie Irving has suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee, sources tell ESPN. Devastating. Irving appeared in 50 of Mavs’ 62 games so far, and is currently the only player in the NBA averaging at least 20 points, 40% 3-point shooting and 90% from free throw line — the fifth season in his career with those statistics, second most all-time to Stephen Curry.Source: x.com

Kyrie Irving has to be helped off the court and does not return to the game after spraining his knee
It’s too early to have a diagnosis, but it looks like Irving is going to miss some time.

As Jason Kidd said, the Mavericks are “running out of bodies.” Here’s the recap of Kyrie Irving’s injury and the loss to the Kings.

Mavericks’ new center Kai Jones had a nice debut under terrible circumstances. Here’s what he had to say about it:

Kai Jones vs Sacramento:
21 PTS
9 REB
Joins Anthony Davis as the only players with those numbers in their Mavericks debut. pic.x.com/Kd3L5mScSI – 10:46 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
In 95 previous NBA games, Kai Jones’ career high was 12 points for Charlotte against OKC on March 28, 2023.
Tonight he has 13 points in 16 first-half minutes. It’s only the 5th double-digit scoring game of his career. – 9:45 PM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
Kai Jones has looked really solid for Dallas. 9 points and 3 rebounds. Super active. – 9:28 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
When he hurt his lower leg in Portland last December, yet stayed on the court to shoot the free throws on basically one leg, Kyrie Irving would miss the next 12 games. Looked to be in even more pain tonight, but was determined to shoot those free-throws. – 9:22 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Said on the #NBAStrategyStream I’m hopeful it’s a hyperextended knee and bone bruise for Kyrie, rather than something more serious. – 9:20 PM

Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Left knee sprain for Kyrie Irving, Mavs say. He’s out. – 9:19 PM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
From the Mavs:
Kyrie Irving (left knee sprain) will not return to tonight’s game against the Kings. – 9:18 PM

Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes
Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving (left knee sprain) will be out the remainder of the game vs Sacramento Kings. – 9:18 PM

Christian Clark @cclark_13
Here’s a clip of Kyrie landing awkwardly on his left leg. Immediately signaled for medical attention. Mavericks are calling it a left knee sprain. pic.x.com/YoDQ5h6IAk – 9:17 PM

Kyrie Irving landed awkwardly on a drive to the basket and was helped to the locker room. pic.x.com/KJK8a5o5cF – 9:11 PM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
Kings lead 27-24 after 1Q in Dallas. They let off the gas a bit after the Kyrie Irving injury. Keegan Murray leads with 8 points. 6 points and 4 rebounds for Valanciunas. – 9:10 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Mavericks are more concerned with Kyrie Irving, but they are only down 27-24 after a quarter, despite Irving’s departure with an apparent left leg injury. Banding together will be more important than ever the rest of the way. – 9:10 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Kyrie Irving, unable to put any weight on his left leg, was about to be escorted to the locker room. He then remained in the game to shoot his free throws. He pointed to the sky before making both. Another brutal injury for the Mavs. pic.x.com/R4CesCdIZo – 9:10 PM

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
I get someone from the bench can’t come out onto the floor before a timeout but that’s a weak tech. People were coming to help Kyrie off the floor. Just tell him to go back and wait for the foul/timeout. No need to call a tech there. – 9:06 PM

Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Kyrie Irving had to be helped off the floor after his left leg landed awkwardly on a drive. Shot the free throws and then was assisted off the court. – 9:05 PM

Tim Cato @tim_cato
kyrie shooting those free throws was genuinely awe inspiring – 9:05 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Kyrie Irving makes his two free throws with 2:35 left in the first quarter, then exits the court. Anthony Davis is one of the players helping him off. – 9:05 PM

Brad Townsend @townbrad
Irving did this in Portland last year. If he doesn’t shoot the free-throws he can’t re-enter the game, as unlikely as that would seem given his pain level. – 9:04 PM

Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham
Wow. I can’t believe Kyrie is gonna shoot these free throws. – 9:03 PM

Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
ouch ouch ouch that Kyrie Irving injury looked bad. – 9:03 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Kai Jones spoke for the first time since joining the Mavs on a two-way contract. He was asked about the likelihood of a Kai (Irving) to Kai alley-oop.
“High. More than likely.” pic.x.com/FNxPjOAh2c – 8:19 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Jason Kidd on Kai Jones: He’ll get an opportunity tonight. “He’s someone who has played in NBA games and has the experience.” Jones has 12 available games left under his two-way status. – 6:47 PM
