Luka Doncic Reacts To Kyrie Irving's Sad Injury
Luka Doncic expressed concern for Kyrie Irving after the Mavericks guard sustained a knee sprain during Monday’s game against the Sacramento Kings.
Despite the injury, Irving displayed remarkable toughness by staying on the court to sink two free throws before exiting the game.
Doncic, now with the Los Angeles Lakers following a February trade, shared his reaction on Instagram with an emotional post featuring several emojis.
This social media response highlights the strong bond formed between the two stars during their nearly two seasons as backcourt partners in Dallas.
The February 2 trade that sent Doncic to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis shocked the NBA community. The unexpected move separated what many considered a promising duo that could have led the Mavericks deep into the postseason.
Irving’s injury comes at a crucial time for Dallas as they work to secure playoff positioning. Under coach Jason Kidd, the team has been looking to build momentum before the postseason begins.
The visible concern from Doncic demonstrates that player relationships often transcend team boundaries, with former teammates maintaining strong connections even after trades separate them.
