The Dallas Mavericks nightmare season hit another brutal low Monday night when Kyrie Irving tore his ACL in a loss to the Sacramento Kings. His season is now over and so are any hopes of the franchise making a playoff run like it did last year,

Nico Harrison released a statement in the aftermath of Kyrie Irving's season-ending injury that has the Mavericks' season teetering.

As anyone watching might have anticipated, it was revealed Tuesday morning that Irving would miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee.

The Dallas general manager said he believed that with a team built around 31-year-old Anthony Davis and 32-year-old Kyrie Irving, the Mavericks only had a handful of opportunities soon to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Harrison made two trades to make his team worse in a win-now season, and it was Irving who had to try and cover for him. Too much responsibility was placed on the 32-year-old's shoulders, and it was his knee that sadly gave out first.

The Dallas Mavericks have lost Kyrie Irving to a season-ending knee injury, and there's no timetable for Anthony Davis' return after the star forward injured a groin in his Dallas debut following the stunning trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Dallas Mavericks could possibly have to forfeit a game if every player on their injury report misses Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. That's how insane these last six-to-seven weeks have been for the Mavs,

The Dallas Mavericks are a magnet for ridicule right now, as the team continues to suffer in the post-Luka Doncic era. Many fans believe that the trade initiated a cataclysmic sequence of events, one that includes Kyrie Irving suffering a torn ACL versus the Sacramento Kings on March 3.
