Kyrie Irving is off to an impressive start in the 2023–24 NBA season, and his time with the Mavericks has been relatively smooth sailing thus far. But following the team’s 107–88 loss to the Clippers on Saturday night, Irving was asked about a time that was a bit more drama-filled—his tenure with the Nets.
While discussing his time in Brooklyn, Irving compared it to “the girl that got away” while also joking that he didn’t want to “get in trouble with the wife.”
“I don’t look at that aspect of my career as disappointing. I think it’s kind of like one of those times that got away—the girl that got away … and it’ll hurt you for the rest of your life,” Irving said, via Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.
