Alas, the worst has finally happened.

Shams：Irving suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee and is out for the remainder of the season.

Irving played in 50 games this season, averaging 36.1 minutes per game, scoring 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 47.3%, 40.1% and 91.6% from three, narrowly entering the 180 club, leading the Mavericks to currently 32-30 in the 10th place in the West.

Considering that Owen suffered such a serious injury with a torn ligament at the age of 33, it is clear that the rest of his career will be greatly affected, and his current contract expires at 26 years, meaning that next season will be a contract year...... Don't expect the Mavericks management to give him a decent pension, he can trade and go, Doncic naturally won't say anything.

After Irving's injury, he still insisted on shooting free throws as tough as Kobe Bryant back then, but unfortunately the team he played for was not the Lakers, and the Purple and Gold Army really had nothing to say about the heroes.

As last season's Finals team, this season's Mavericks have almost been overwhelmed by injuries, not only Irving, who has been reimbursed for the season, but also Bushy (groin), Gafford (knee), Lively (ankle), PJ Washington (ankle) and Hardy (ankle) are still hanging their exemption cards, and the main core is all lying in the hospital.

Some people say that the Mavericks' season is over, which is by no means alarmist, maybe it is a helpless truth, but if they want to, they still have a good chance of keeping their play-off spot.After all, they are 3.5 wins ahead of the 11th-placed Suns.

Despite having the Big Three of Durant, Booker and Beal, the Suns are a terrible team and have the toughest schedule in the league to keep up with the injured Mavericks.

As the former king of the Mavericks, Doncic, seeing the current tragic situation of his old club, his heart should be more sad, after all, it is the team he once wanted to fight for all his life, and this feeling is difficult to give up.

Finally, I sincerely wish Owen a speedy recovery and the artist can dance on the basketball court again as soon as possible!
