<div class="post-author"> <span>March 21st 2023 at 8:03am CST</span> by Luke Adams </div> </div> <div class="post-bd"> <div class="userContent"> <p><strong>Mavericks</strong> guard <strong><a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/i/irvinky01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_bbr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kyrie Irving</a></strong>, who recently missed three games due to a right foot issue, reaggravated that injury during Monday’s loss in Memphis, writes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/mavericks/2023/03/20/mavericks-kyrie-irving-reaggravates-injury-vs-grizzlies-takes-precautionary-measure/">Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News</a>.</p> <p>As Caplan details, Irving ended up leaving the FedExForum in a walking boot after <strong>Grizzlies</strong> wing <strong><a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/brookdi01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_bbr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Dillon Brooks</a></strong> stepped on the back of his foot during the third quarter. While Kyrie referred to the boot as “just precautionary,” Caplan suggests the Mavs’ star was walking with a bit of a limp after the game.</p> <p><em>“I just got to make it back home to Dallas and then start my recovery work and do everything I can to prepare for the next game,” </em>Irving said.<em> “Take time to rest and exhaust all my options possible to be ready to play the next game.”</em></p> <p>Despite Brooks’ reputation, Irving made it clear that he didn’t believe there was anything intentional or malicious about the play.</p> <p class="body-text-paragraph"><em>“I would’ve felt different up here if I feel he did it on purpose, but I didn’t,” </em>Irving said. <em>“It’s just one of those plays where he’s trailing me, and I think his feet got caught up in mine and twisted my ankle. Just bad timing, but the game has to keep going.”</em></p> <p>Here’s more on the Mavs:</p> <ul> <li>Although Irving professed no hard feelings toward the combative Grizzlies wing, he declined Brooks’ postgame request to swap jerseys, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35908692/dillon-brooks-faces-1-game-suspension-taunting-mavs-bench">Tim MacMahon of ESPN</a>, who notes that Kyrie gave Brooks his Mavs jersey but didn’t accept Brooks’ Grizzlies jersey (<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1638018961596899328">Twitter video link</a>). <em>“Probably get it next time,” </em>Irving said with a smile.<em> “Not this time. I was really onto the next thing.”</em></li> <li>It was another night, another feud for Brooks, who faces a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/03/nba-confirms-dillon-brooks-one-game-suspension.html">second</a> automatic one-game suspension after picking up his 18th technical foul of the season for taunting Dallas’ bench after a dunk (<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1637992964113969152">Twitter video link</a>). He explained after the game that he was aiming a “pom-poms” gesture at Mavs reserve <strong><a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/pinsoth01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_bbr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Theo Pinson</a></strong>. <em>“I just wanted to let him know he’s a cheerleader. That was it,” </em>Brooks said (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZInGKCzLSs">YouTube video link</a>). <em>“Same class. I grew up watching him play, he was a great basketball player. And now he gets paid to cheerlead. Love it.”</em> Responding <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/tpinsonn/status/1638042002133753856">on Twitter</a>, Pinson wrote, <em>“<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">I got some real estate I see,</span>“</em> followed by a crying-laughing emoji.</li> <li>Both the Grizzlies and Mavericks are close to getting their All-NBA guards back. <strong><a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/moranja01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-03-21_bbr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ja Morant</a></strong> rejoined the Grizzlies on Monday following his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/03/ja-morant-meets-with-adam-silver-moves-closer-to-possible-return.html">eight-game suspension</a> and though he didn’t play vs. Dallas, head coach <strong>Taylor Jenkins</strong> said the team is “hopeful” Morant will be back on Wednesday vs. Houston, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35906535/grizzlies-hopeful-ja-morant-return-play-wednesday">according to MacMahon</a>.<em> “So long as everything medically clears out,”</em> Jenkins said.

He has also done absolutely nothing in this league, so on top of being a complete a**hole, he has no credibility or respect from anyone.
