Watch emotional video of NBA star Kyrie Irving scoring free throws with a torn ACL

Irving tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during Dallas’ game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

The former Cavaliers guard was driving to the basket when he clashed with DeMar DeRozan and lost his balance, causing his left leg to land awkwardly, resulting in the injury.

Despite the devastating injury, Irving was escorted to the free-throw line and shot both free throws exquisitely, putting Dallas in a 23-18 lead before leaving the court.

The nine-time All-Star has been hailed for his toughness and mental strength in taking the free throws despite the excruciating pain.

He has been ruled out for the rest of the season, according to a statement by the Dallas Mavericks after the game.

Irving, in an Instagram Live session, assured fans that he is currently stable and ready for his recovery.

“It hasn’t been 48 hours since I tore my ACL, but the recovery process has already started—mentally, spiritually, emotionally,” he said.
