Kyrie Irving Returns Fully Healthy for 2026-27 Season After ACL Injury

Kyrie Irving is fully cleared for the 2026-27 season after missing 82 games during the 2025-26 campaign due to an ACL tear. Prior to his injury, Irving posted nine straight Top-20 fantasy seasons. He returns to a revamped Mavericks squad following the departure of Luka Doncic and the arrival of Cooper Flagg. While his availability has historically been a concern, Irving is expected to maintain a prominent offensive role as a key scorer and playmaker alongside Flagg.
