Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving underwent surgery to repair a broken left hand, the team announced Tuesday.
Irving suffered the injury while training earlier this month.
The team did not provide an anticipated timetable for Irving to be cleared to return to basketball activity.
Irving, an eight-time All-Star, played an essential role in the Mavericks’ run to the NBA Finals. He averaged 22.2 points and 5.1 assists per game during the postseason.
The 32-year-old Irving, who averaged 25.6 points and 5.2 assists during the regular season, also played a significant role in recruiting Klay Thompson to join the Mavs in free agency.
