The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on the road, but it cost them dearly because of Kyrie Irving’s injury. He suffered a right foot injury during Friday night’s 125–112 road victory over the Trail Blazers for the Mavericks. With 3:49 remaining in the first half, Irving left the game due to a right foot injury. He finished with 11 points in 13 minutes.

In the second quarter, Kyrie was fouled beneath the basket by Portland center Duop Reath when in the second quarter, he attempted a layup against the latter and Scoot Henderson. Following his fall to the floor, teammate Dwight Powell unintentionally stepped on his right foot.

Kyrie continued to play in the game and made two free throws after lying down on the floor for a few minutes. However, Tim Hardaway Jr. of Dallas then committed a foul, allowing Kyrie to be taken out of the game and into the locker room.

They declared Irving out of the game for the remainder of the match after the Mavericks staff examined his foot. After the half, the broadcast announcer confirmed that Irving had wheeled himself out of the building. Before they release more details, he will probably have an MRI.

In February, Kyrie Irving moved to Dallas after he forced a trade from his previous team, the Brooklyn Nets. “Uncle Drew” averaged 27.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 20 games. A glimpse of what he and Luka Doncic could accomplish for the Mavericks was tantalizing.

Did Kyrie Irving leave the arena in a wheelchair?

Fans of other teams were curious about Kyrie’s situation, too. They wheeled Irving out of the arena, according to the Portland Trail Blazers broadcast. Afterward, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd stated that Kyrie Irving was still inside the building and that the statement was not true. Kai’s wheelchair caused concern for the media, and even head coach Jason Kidd laughed about it. The most recent comments, however, refute the fiction.

Tim Hardaway Jr. exposed Kai’s situation in an interview clip that was published on X.

When we arrived, he was waiting for us right there at the door. He was that good. Great spirits. Simply glad he's alright

Kyrie Irving will be doubtful against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, at the absolute least. Jason Kidd, the coach of the Dallas Mavericks, will need a few of his players to step in if he is unable to. Seth Curry, who is probably going to see more playing time, replaced Irving during the game.
