Kyrie Irving Reacts to His Season Ending ACL Injury

Kyrie Irving's season is over. The Dallas Mavericks star point guard tore his ACL in their 122-98 loss against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. The team confirmed Irving's diagnosis Tuesday.
The injury occurred when Irving attempted a Euro step. The 32-year-old was fouled by DeMar DeRozan on a drive to the basket and his right foot landed on the foot of the Kings' Jonas Valanciunas. Irving lost his balance and then landed awkwardly on his left leg, and his knee appeared to hyperextend before he fell to the floor.
Injured forward Anthony Davis helped Irving to the locker room before the point guard abruptly returned to the floor to shoot two free throws with tears rolling down his cheeks.
After converting both foul shots to pull Dallas within 23-18, Irving was helped into the tunnel with his arms wrapped around the shoulders of injured teammate Dereck Lively and an assistant coach. He was ruled out soon after with what was called a knee sprain, and is now officially an ACL tear.
