The Dallas Mavericks suffered another major blow in their 122-98 defeat to the Sacramento Kings, as Kyrie Irving exited with a left knee sprain late in the first quarter.
The nine-time All-Star landed awkwardly after stepping on Jonas Valanciunas’ foot, hyperextending his knee in the process. Irving shot two free throws through tears before heading to the locker room, and Dallas provided no postgame updates on his condition.
Coach Jason Kidd called it “just unlucky,” while the Mavs, already missing Anthony Davis, Gafford, Lively, and Washington, are running out of available players.

I don’t like the way his left knee buckles and hyperextends

Kyrie Irving was clearly in pain with a leg injury but refused to leave the court before he shot two free throws — similar to his mentor Kobe Bryant.
Anthony Davis was among those who helped Irving off the court and into the locker room.

A moment of pure determination for Kyrie Irving.
After suffering an injury, Kyrie was helped to the line to take his free throws before exiting the game.
He made both. 👏👏 pic.twitter.com/hJDDRTDLg7
