Kyrie Irving has surgery on broken left hand

Thank you, Dallas Mavericks

Dallas fans congratulate the Mavericks on an unforgettable season.

DALLAS - Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has undergone surgery to repair a broken left hand.

The team announced that Irving broke his hand earlier this month while training.

A timetable for the Mavericks' guard to return to basketball activities was not immediately available.

The Mavericks say they will have further updates on Irving's status "as appropriate."

The 31-year-old point guard averaged 25.6 points and 5.2 assists per game in the regular season last year.

Irving has plenty of time to heal.

The NBA preseason does not begin until October.
