Recovering beyond expectations! Irving made his first appearance in the training ground after being seriously injured and has started shooting training

When will Kyrie Irving recover from an ACL injury torn ACL have been one of the main topics for the Dallas Mavericks next season. Although some people are worried about delays in Irving's return, Irving recently showed that his recovery is far beyond expectations with actions. Recently, the nine-time All-Star player appeared at a New York City court and trained, and although the training content was limited to contactless shooting and physical training, his movements alone showed that his recovery was going well.

Usually, the injury to torn anterior cruciate ligament takes up to a year to recover. Considering the situation Irving showed in the training ground, we can basically conclude that his return time will be advanced, but the Mavericks should need to be more cautious at this stage.

There is no doubt that once Irving fully recovers, he will become an integral part of the Mavericks' rotation. Given the team's existing lineup configuration, the Mavericks can actually be regarded as the Western Conference championship contender when Irving returns to his full strength, but that also requires Irving to stay in shape and healthy in the playoffs.

At the moment, the Mavericks management has adjusted their roster to remain stable even in the absence of Irving. The Mavericks strengthened the backcourt rotation by signing D'Angelo Russell and retaining Dante Exam. Although it is not realistic to expect these two to tie the game for Irving, their role is to help other key players' offenses. With the presence of star players like Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson, and the addition of superstar Cooper Flagage, the Mavericks need to expect other players in their main lineup to make contributions to offset the negative impact of Irving's absence, so as to maintain sufficient competitiveness.
