Kyrie Irving has no problem with Collin Sexton wearing No. 2 for Cavs
NEW YORK -- Boston Celtics star Kyrie Irving has no problem with Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Collin Sexton wearing his No. 2 jersey with Cleveland.
"Go ahead, do what you do. He wanted to wear the number, let him wear the number. It doesn't matter," Irving said during a Q&A with reporters in Manhattan to promote his upcoming movie, Uncle Drew.
"The story is probably going to the number. But I'm more excited about who (Sexton) is as a player in the league," Irving added. "The number thing is like, just chalk that up to the game. It's cool. It's no hard feelings from my end. He just has to start at the chopping block just like everyone else did. So I'm excited for him."
