Kyrie Irving was "pissed" at Dillon Brooks.
Dillon Brooks doesn't have many friends in the NBA. He consistently agitates players and makes enemies out of them, one of them being Kyrie Irving. There was a moment last season when the Dallas Mavericks faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies, and Kyrie Irving refused to swap jerseys with Dillon Brooks. Turns out, it was for a reason.
Kyrie Irving went on Twitch, where he revealed that he was furious at Dillon Brooks during the game where he refused to swap jerseys.
"Me and him had a whole viral moment this year after the game where I was pissed that I got hurt again," Kyrie said about Brooks. "I was not necessarily just pissed, I was pissed at him, and he knew it, too. He hurt me. He didn't do it on purpose, I don't know if he did it on purpose. He hurt me again in that game. I had like 26 going into the 4th quarter at Memphis, we were supposed to win that game and go into the playoffs. He here is just doing Dillon Brooks things. I didn't take his jersey after the game because I was so just so focused on getting to the locker room and getting my rehab done for recovery."
It's safe to say that there's no love lost between Kyrie Irving and Dillon Brooks. The next time these two face off, Irving will for sure try to get at least 30 points.
