Last week, panic struck Dallas Mavericks fans as Kyrie Irving dropped an interesting injury update while on stream. Irving refused to confirm or deny if he would return from his ACL tear by the 2026 NBA Playoffs, which was honestly a smart and fair decision by him, considering that he has no idea when he will return, but Mavs fans took this quote literally and ran with it.
Less than a week later, Irving nonverbally provided an injury update that was much more promising than his former one, as a video surfaced from his stream of him dribbling a basketball and shooting a jumper outdoors.
