Kyrie Irving told a fan to ‘apologise’ before having them removed from the NBA clash between the Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.
Irving’s Mavericks slipped to a fourth consecutive loss as the lowly Hornets secured a 110-104 win to leave Dallas outside of a NBA Play-In tournament spot in the Western Conference. The 2011 NBA champions have gone 5-13 since Luka Doncic and Irving played their first game together, and things went from bad to worse when they suffered consecutive losses to the struggling Hornets on Friday and Sunday respectively.
During Sunday’s game, Irving appeared to reach breaking point. In the third quarter at the Spectrum Center, play was briefly stopped as the eight-time All-Star spoke with an official about the fan.
