The NBA regular season continued, the Nets lost to the Blazers on the road, and Irving returned with his first defeat and nearly injured. However, Owen did not hold the other party accountable for this, but only reminded him in good faith.
At that time, the Blazers made a mistake, Irving quickly dribbled through the half, Little quickly caught up with him from behind, after the ball was fruitless, inertia slipped and directly overturned Irving, who was painfully covered and could not stand up for a long time.
In last year's playoffs, Irving suffered an ankle sprain in the Eastern Conference semifinals with the Bucks, and I am afraid that this time the old injury will recur. Nash later revealed an update on Irving, who confirmed that Owen had twisted his ankle and that the specifics would need to be seen.
After going through the danger again, Irving seemed calm and excused Little, "He's not a dirty player, but that action is a bit reckless, that action is completely unnecessary." I may have broken my ankle or suffered some more serious injuries because of this action. ”
At 11 a.m. On Thursday, the Nets will continue their road trip against nemesis chicago bulls, the top-of-the-table battle, and they are eager for revenge. Nash said Durant would not play normally without a break, but did not give a decision on whether Irving would play.
Irving was not worried about this, promising fans that he would play Thursday against the Bulls.
