He has been out for 11 months already, many pros from football & basketball come back from ACL injuries quicker. The FO are probably telling him to take some extra time off to heal since they're not in playoff contention maybe they'll let him come back later in the season to see how he & Flagg play together so they can decide on which players to draft with the lottery pick & the OKC pick that will fit them best towards playoff & championship contention.
Kyrie Irving works out with Phil Handy in preparation of his return from an ACL injury after being out for 11 months.

Can’t wait to see him play again
Going from Shammgod to Phil Handy was amazing for the Mavs. Especially with Kyrie on the team
I predict that Kyrie and Coop will be a (super)natural fit. Where Luka and Kyrie overlapped a bunch, Coop and Kyrie have much more role definition. I can hardly wait to see them in action together.
Kyrie will be slower but it will not matter, flag will force his way in the paint with kyrie on the point
This kyrie guy seems pretty good
I would love to see him hoop some games this year. He may cause us some unnecessary wins but fuck it.
This needs to be a series.
’d really love to see him play, but our season this year is already a writeoff, so there’s no point rushing it. Better to let him return next season when he’s truly ready,I’m sure he’ll be fully healed by then after the ACL injury.
I thought Phil handy gave great advice on SNL
