Mavericks must push forward after test reveals Irving’s ACL tear

It’s Fat Tuesday and the only thing the Mavericks have overindulged on is injuries.

Maybe they can give that up for Lent.

The fact-gathering process about Kyrie Irving’s left knee injury is complete and an MRI revealed that the superstar guard suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament when he took a misstep late in the first quarter Monday night against Sacramento.

He will miss the rest of this season.

In the news release, the Mavericks said that the original diagnosis of a left knee sprain was changed after the MRI.
