NBA Twitter Reacted To Kyrie Irving Arriving To Game With Walking Stick
Kyrie Irving (lower back tightness) did not play against the Phoenix Suns last night, due to lower back tightness – likely a precautionary absence.
But in order to support his teammates, he went to the game and stole the spotlight nonetheless.
Irving showed up to the game with his teammates and was using a walking stick as he walked into the arena – definitely a first in NBA history.
NBA Twitter obviously took notice and had plenty of jokes.
