Kyrie Irving Out Indefinitely After Hand Surgery

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is expected to be out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on a broken left hand he suffered during an offseason workout.

The team announced the injury Tuesday night, without providing a timeline for Irving’s return to action. The setback comes after a stellar season that saw the dynamic duo of Irving and Luka Doncic propel the Mavericks to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011.

Irving averaged 25.6 points per game during the regular season while battling multiple injuries, including foot, heel and thumb issues. Despite his physical challenges, he delivered a stellar performance in the playoffs and was instrumental in Dallas’ long playoff run.

Training camp is scheduled to begin in about two and a half months, and the Mavericks will provide updates on Irving’s recovery as needed.
