Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving will miss the season to allow himself additional time to fully heal from the torn ACL he suffered last March. Irving will make his return for the 2026?27 season.
the bigger question is "does anyone care if Kyrie plays again?"
Not a fan of his, but Kyrie is one of the mort popular players in the NBA, so I?m going to say yes.
supposing he's popular in the NBA, that's not the same as non-NBA players (such as the general public) who probably don't care if Kyrie plays or not.
Kyrie is one of the most popular players for fans. His jersey sales have typically been in the top 10-15 for all players in the league. His shoes are popular as well.
Quite possibly the most overrated player of all time.
I'm not even sure if there is anyone close.
