Kyrie Irving, the point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, is anticipated to receive a new three-year contract despite facing an ACL tear on March 3, 2025, against the Sacramento Kings.

Grant Afseth from DallasHoopsJournal and Zach Buckley from Bleacher Report predict that the Mavericks will offer Irving a new deal this summer, as they view him as a key component of their championship aspirations.

Irving has a player option worth approximately $43.96 million for the upcoming season, but reports suggest he may decline it in favor of pursuing a longer contract.

The Mavericks missed the playoffs this year after reaching the NBA Finals last season, making a significant trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis and Max Christie.

Irving, along with Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson, has only played together once since the trade, which highlights potential challenges in team chemistry.

Throughout his career, Irving has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, and Mavericks, earning nine All-Star selections and averaging 23.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists.

This season, Irving has averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across 50 games, showcasing impressive shooting percentages of 47.3% from the field and 40.1% from three-point range.

Irving was pivotal in the Cavaliers' 2016 NBA Championship victory, famously hitting the game-winning shot over Stephen Curry in Game 7.
