Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving recently underwent surgery after breaking his left hand during a training session earlier this month.
The injury occurred while Irving was preparing for the upcoming season, and a recovery timeline has yet to be announced.
Irving, a key player for the Mavericks, led the team to the NBA Finals last season, where they were defeated by the Boston Celtics.
Despite the injury, the Mavericks are optimistic about their chances for next season, with Irving expected to be back in time for the regular season and a strong supporting cast.
