A nightmarish season for the Dallas Mavericks somehow found a new rock-bottom on Monday night, as Kyrie Irving left the team's blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings with what was later revealed to be a torn ACL in his left knee. Irving is obviously done for the year, and his status for the start of next season is very much up in the air.

Kyrie Irving broke his silence with a story on Instagram where he challenged the narrative that his minutes played a role in the injury.
