Nets point guard Kyrie Irving was engaged in a bit of a scary incident for the point guard on Monday night as he and Blazers forward Nassir Little chased a loose ball near the sideline.
Irving attempted to kick the ball out of bounds with his left foot, but his motion was interrupted by Little, who dove on the floor for the basketball. Neither player was hurt in the strange sequence, though Irving noted his displeasure with Little's move postgame.
“I tried to get out of the way but I just felt like that just, it was unnecessary, like for him to dive that far away to the ball," Irving said.
