Kyrie Irving Says ACL Rehab Is Going 'Incredibly Well' Ahead of Mavericks Camp

Dallas has not set a return date as training camp nears, with new backcourt depth supporting a patient approach.

Overview

  • Irving described his rehabilitation as going "incredibly well" in a TMZ interview conducted this week in New York.
  • The team has not announced a timetable for his return, though outside speculation points to a potential January window contingent on clearance.
  • Irving tore his ACL on March 3 against the Kings and underwent surgery about three weeks later.
  • Dallas reinforced the guard rotation by signing D'Angelo Russell and re-signing Dante Exum to handle point guard duties to start the season.
  • Training camp opens Sept. 29 with an Oct. 22 season opener, and rookie Cooper Flagg could get ballhandling reps as part of his development.
