Kyrie Irving 2024-2025 Season
During the 2024-2025 NBA season, Kyrie Irving is hyperextending his left knee as he approached the basket.
He was later diagnosed with an ACL tear.
This would be considered a contact ACL injury since he was impacted at his R abdomen and R leg which caused him to land improperly.
