Mavericks' Kyrie Irving reportedly undergoes successful surgery to repair left ACL tear

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has undergone successful surgery on a torn left ACL suffered earlier this month, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The surgery reportedly took place on Wednesday at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.

Irving went down during the Mavericks' loss to the Sacramento Kings on March 3 after his left knee bent awkwardly while driving to the hoop. He was later ruled out for the season.

The day after the game, Irving went on Instagram Live to say that he was doing alright.

"It hasn't been 48 hours since I tore my ACL, but the recovery process already started mentally, spiritually, emotionally," Irving said.
