Irving was the team’s second option. It is also strange if he wasn’t invited, but his absence has been mocked endlessly by NBA Twitter. The news surrounding him has been crazy. The last few days were a wild ride for Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers fans. Irving’s absence notwithstanding, the team enjoyed the festivities and the ceremony.
These are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:
Knowing Kyrie most likely he just didn’t show up lol
