‘I’ll be fine’: Hours after the injury report, Kyrie Irving sends out a mysterious message

Kyrie Irving has reassured his fans that he is doing well after experiencing a frightening injury during the Dallas Mavericks game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

With less than four minutes remaining in the second quarter, Kyrie Irving drew a foul under the basket from Portland center Duop Reath. Following the foul, the star guard fell to the floor, and teammate Dwight Powell inadvertently stepped on his foot, leading to Irving remaining down for several minutes.

“He was right there waiting at the door [of the locker room] when we came in,” he said (per SI.com). “He was good. Great spirits. Just happy that he’s OK. When we all got to the locker room and saw on social media how it looked, the pictures, obviously it didn’t look too good.”

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd added:

“All reporting is not factual, is it? Or should we all believe it? I’m not here to interview you, but I think he hasn’t left the building. He’s still here.”
