Kyrie Irving leaves game with right knee sprain in Nets’ loss
WASHINGTON — In a nightmarish night, the Nets didn’t just lose a winnable game but also their star player.
Kyrie Irving suffered a right knee sprain and was forced out of the game in the fourth quarter. And he only could watch as Brooklyn blew what was once a dozen-point cushion and lost, 113-107, to the woebegone Wizards at Capital One Arena.
A night after a dream 54-point outing in a rout of Chicago, this was about the opposite. Irving — who finished with 11 points, four rebounds and four assists — suffered a knee injury and tried briefly to play through it before being forced off the floor.
