On Monday, the Dallas Mavericks' year of atrocious injury luck came to a head. Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving tore his ACL during a 122–98 loss to the Sacramento Kings, ending his season.
Irving's injury led to an outpouring of sympathy across the basketball world, including from the nine-time All-Star's general manager—Nico Harrison. Harrison has become an unwitting household name across North America for masterminding Dallas's widely ridiculed trade of guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, but on Tuesday he expressed pubic support for Irving.
