The NBA world came together on Tuesday when it was revealed that Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving suffered a torn ACL on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings.

At 32 years old, recovering from an ACL tear is going to be a very tough injury for Irving. It's an injury that can sometimes take over a full year to fully return to form, and by that point, Irving will be around 33-34 years old.

Hopefully, Kyrie Irving can make a full recovery to the NBA because the league is a better place with him playing.
