Kyrie Irving Didn’t Intend To Snub Dillon Brooks During Jersey Swap

Kyrie Irving seemingly snubbed Dillon Brooks when he refused to take the Grizzlies’ ahead’s jersey after their sport, however the Mavs famous person says the awkward second wasn’t intentional, saying he’d “probably get [the jersey] next time.”

It all went down Monday night time after the Grizzlies defeated the Mavs, 112-108, on the FedEx Forum in Memphis. Dillon and Ky shared an embrace on the courtroom following the sport, however the encounter did not precisely go as deliberate for the 27-year-old Brooks.

In the clip, you see Kyrie hand his jersey to Brooks, however when Brooks went to offer his jersey to Irving, Kyrie seemed to be in no temper to obtain it … and stored the trade at a handshake earlier than strolling away.

Social media began to speak after the sport, and Kyrie was requested in regards to the trade.

“I saw that after the game,” Irving mentioned. “I’ll probably get it next time. Probably next time. Not this time. I was really onto the next thing, thought process-wise.”

Meanwhile, on the courtroom, Brooks had his palms full making an attempt to protect Kyrie — who scored 28 factors in 33 minutes. DB is clearly a fan of Irving’s, showering the All-Star with reward postgame regardless of the (perhaps?) shade from Kyrie, even evaluating him to the Black Mamba.

“He’s similar to Kobe [Bryant],” Brooks said. “He’s similar to Jordan and people guys. He performs the sport at a distinct place. He makes use of each palms, mid-range God. And that’s the place I need to be at someday, have the ability to shoot the ball extra.”

One factor Kyrie undoubtedly did do after the sport was share a second with Ja Morant, who rejoined the Grizzlies on Monday following an 8-game suspension for displaying a gun on Instagram.
