Kyrie Irving took another visible step in his recovery from a torn ACL by participating in the NBPA Top 100 Camp, where he worked with some of the nation’s top high school prospects.
The Dallas Mavericks guard spent time mentoring players, sharing his experiences, and even challenging several campers in one-on-one matchups.
Reports indicated that Irving looked sharp during the event as he continues progressing toward a return to the court.
“This mission is bigger than just the basketball court,” Irving told the players. “I pray that you guys understand that you have a chance to change your life with the game of basketball, to utilize it as a vehicle to take you around the world, to meet different people, gain insight, gain knowledge.”
Irving also reflected on the injury that sidelined him for the entire season and the challenges of the rehabilitation process.
“Last year, I had a very traumatic injury, tore my ACL. And just to be back out here in front of you guys, it’s just an honor. I don’t take for granted, man, it’s been a long year, mentally, emotionally, something – when something that you love gets taken away from you for a temporary moment, that really defines you.”
