Complete Collapse of Dallas Mavericks: Kyrie Irving Injured

When things go bad, they go bad. Kyrie Irving suffered a knee sprain last night which forced him to leave the game between the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings, a game that the Texans ended up losing 122-98.

The point guard was fouled by DeMar DeRozan while driving to the basket, with the unfortunate luck that as the play continued, he stepped on Jonas Valanciunas, resulting in an issue with his leg at that moment that seemed to be a hyperextension of his knee when he fell to the ground. There is no update yet on his injury. "It was bad luck, I hope he's healthy and it's not serious," commented his coach Jason Kidd after the game.

Since the trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis (in his debut), Daniel Gafford, and now Kyrie have fallen injured. Derek Lively is also still injured. Tremendous bad luck for the Texans (or perhaps divine punishment for Nico Harrison's arrogance).

Irving showed his class though, and just like Kobe Bryant, he made both free throws from his foul while injured before leaving. "That’s him, I mean, Kai is a tough guy," Kidd said. "I asked him as they were taking him off the court, 'Are you okay if you leave without shooting? You’re out.' So they took him to the free-throw line, he shot the free throws, and then we took him out."
