Kyrie Irving as early as 2025. Jason Kidd believes it…and looks forward to it

More than seven months after the injury, Kyrie Irving approaches the floors. And if there is still no official date, Jason Kidd has suggested that his return could happen…before the end of the calendar year.
“We can’t wait to bring Kai back at some point. I hope it’s in 2025, not 2026. But we’ll see.”that’s how the Mavericks coach slipped before losing to the Pistons…
A torn anterior cruciate ligament on March 3, then surgery on March 26, Kyrie Irving is on schedule. He continued with light workouts on the field, but Dallas declined to discuss the schedule for now. Jason Kidd was even annoyed by it at ‘media day’: “He’s not early. Don’t say that. He’s on time, and that’s already very good.”
A return in late December, nine months after surgery, would fit the normal timeline for this injury.
Also, since the start of the season, the Mavericks have struggled without their starting leader. The team currently ranks last in the NBA in offensive efficiency, with 104.2 points scored per 100 possessions. Meanwhile, he’s a rookie Cooper Flagg who runs the game, even if it’s not his natural position.
But Jason Kidd sees better days ahead: “Kai will fit perfectly with Cooper Flagg. In addition to his dribbling and scoring skills, he will also create space on the court for Cooper. And vice versa. Cooper will create space for Kai. » Effects that could therefore start as early as 2025?
