As Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving is trying to return from injury sooner rather than later, he does seem to be on a positive trajectory as he was shown recently being active. While the rumors around the Mavericks will continue throughout the upcoming season, Irving’s recovery will be a main storyline to follow. A recent video showed Irving shooting the basketball in an NBPA gym in New York (video via Kyrie Center), which is no doubt exciting for fans who were hoping for some good news regarding his recovery. Last season, Irving tore his left ACL in March with questions on when he would return to playing basketball in the 2025-26 season.
