The Dallas Mavericks clinched a notable win against the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 125-112 last Friday. However, the joyous victory was marred by an unfortunate incident involving the Mavericks’ standout player, Kyrie Irving. Writhing in pain after a foul by Portland’s Doup Reath, Irving suffered further when Dwight Powell accidentally stepped on his foot. Despite bravely staying in the game to make free throws, they eventually sidelined Irving following a medical examination.

Reports circulated that Irving had to leave the arena, raising concerns about the severity of his injury. The press was concerned that Kai was in a wheelchair and even Head Coach Jason Kidd had a laugh about it. However, the latest comments debunk the fiction.

Debunking Kyrie Irving Wheel Chair Lie

In an interview clip posted on X, Tim Hardaway Jr debunks Kai’s situation. “He was right there at the door waiting for us when we came in. He was good, he was good. Great spirits. Just happy he’s okay,” Hardaway says.

After Kidd, even Hardaway assures the fans of Kai’s health. Earlier, Kidd said, “All reporting is not all factual. Or should we all believe it?” he further added,  “I am not here to interview you, but I think he hasn’t left the building. He is still here.” As the Mavericks reached an 11-6 record following a 121-115 triumph against the Houston Rockets, Coach Kidd expressed a desire for positive coverage from reporters.
