The Mavericks officially announced the veteran guard’s re-signing Sunday afternoon. The team did not disclose the terms of Irving’s new deal. The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have re-signed nine-time All-Star Kyrie Irving. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Point guard Kyrie Irving offered a response rooted in patience to a question about whether he would return from his ACL tear in time for the playoffs.

It isn't Irving's first time battling through a lengthy recovery process. Earlier in his career he fractured his kneecap while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals and he didn't return until December of the following season.
