Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving gave an update on his recovery from a torn ACL via Twitch, saying he is now close to full strength.

“I am definitely close to being over at 100% in terms on my ACL recovery,” Irving said. “It’s been a while now. … I’m just so grateful that I’ve had the time to heal and just experiment with my body more on the court.”

The nine-time All-Star has been sidelined since his injury March 3, 2025. During the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists over 50 games (all starts), while shooting 40.1% from 3-point range.

Last season, the Mavericks struggled without the 34-year-old veteran, limping to a 26-56 record.

A return means Irving will be able to pair NBA Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg next season.

The Minnesota Vikings reportedly have a new general manager, agreeing to terms with Seattle Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley.

The NFL Network reported the news Saturday on Teasley, who spent the past 14 years with the Seahawks.

Teasley, 42, has advanced from Seahawks scouting department intern in 2013 to assistant GM in 2023 under John Schneider.

After helping Seattle win the Super Bowl last season, he will be tasked with turning around the Vikings who missed the playoffs last season.

Minnesota vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski has served as the interim GM since the team fired Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on Jan. 30 after four years on the job.
