Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has a torn ACL in his left knee and will miss the rest of the season, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Irving was injured in the first quarter of Dallas’ loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday night.

Following the injury, Irving made two free throws with tears rolling down his cheeks before leaving the game.

The 32-year-old was fouled by DeMar DeRozan on a drive to the basket and his right foot landed on the foot of the Kings’ Jonas Valanciunas. Irving lost his balance and then landed awkwardly on his left leg, and his knee appeared to hyperextend before he fell to the floor.

It’s the biggest setback so far this season among a slew of injuries for the Mavericks, who lost 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis to a groin injury in his Dallas debut following the seismic trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jets release WR Adams >> The New York Jets are releasing wide receiver Davante Adams ahead of the start of the NFL’s new league year next week.

The move, which was expected, will save the Jets $29.9 million in salary cap space. It follows the team’s announcement on Feb. 13 that they’re also moving on this offseason from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Adams’ longtime teammate and friend.

Adams was acquired by the Jets from Las Vegas last October for a third-round pick in this year’s draft. The 32-year-old three-time All-Pro was scheduled to make a non-guaranteed $35.64 million in each of the next two years.

Eagles give Barkley record extension >> Saquon Barkley will become the highest-paid running back in NFL history after his record-setting season helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are giving Barkley a two-year contract extension worth $41.2 million with $36 million guaranteed, the new deal includes $15 million in incentives.

Barkley ran for 2,504 yards in the regular season and playoffs, breaking Terrell Davis’ record for most yards rushing combined in one season.

Cowboys extend Odighizuwa >> The Dallas Cowboys and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa agreed on an $80 million, four-year contract with $58 million guaranteed, his agent said.

Odighizuwa was a 2021 third-round pick who blossomed into one of Dallas’ best defensive linemen. He tied star pass rusher Micah Parsons for the club lead with 23 quarterback hits last season.

Red Sox’s Devers not ready to debut >> Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers, who was expected to make his spring training debut Tuesday against the Pirates, has pushed it back after telling Boston manager Alex Cora that he did not feel ready while taking live batting practice.

Cora did not say when the three-time All-Star will play but suggested it might not be until this weekend.

Devers hit .272 with 28 homers and 83 RBIs last season, despite complaining of soreness in both of his shoulders. He had spent the first couple of weeks of spring training trying to strengthen them for the rigors of a 162-game regular season.

Arsenal rout PSV in first UCL round of 16 match >> Arsenal made a massive step toward a Champions league quarterfinal spot with a 7-1 win at PSV Eindhoven.

Arsenal got off a shaky start and Jurrien Timber scored against the run of the play with a header at the far post, just after PSV hit the woodwork.

The London team never looked back after that and led 3-0 at the half-hour mark. Noa Lang scored from the spot before the interval for PSV but the Dutch team crumbled once back from the locker room.

On a good night for Premier League teams, Aston Villa won 3-1 at Club Brugge, and Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 with Lille.

A superb goal from Brahim Diaz helped Real Madrid maintain its dominance of the Madrid derby on Europe’s biggest stage with a 2-1 victory over bitter rival Atletico in the first leg.
