Kyrie?s former teammate suffers a horrible event

Irving spent four turbulent seasons with the Brooklyn Nets. His teams didn?t make any major impact despite having Kevin Durant and, later, James Harden. He was mostly injured or embroiled in off-court issues. However, during his time, he saw some great young players develop.?

His reputation allowed him to sign a 2-year $32 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers just last month. The major payday meant both hefty purchases and a lot of celebration.
