Kyrie Irving was reportedly upset about an “inappropriate” comment made to him when he accidentally bumped into fans during the NBA Finals.
In the second quarter of Monday’s Game 5 in Boston, Irving dove for a loose ball and landed on the announcer’s table as his Mavericks hung on while down 3-1 against the Celtics.
After the point guard stood up after successfully corralling the ball, broadcaster Mike Breen noted that Irving also received an unpleasant comment from a fan as he dove into the Boston crowd.
“Irving was upset,” Breen said. “Someone said something inappropriate to him while the man was on the ground, which was a shame.”
The comments and the person who made them were not disclosed after the incident.
