Prior to tipoff in the Brooklyn Nets’ matchup with the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, Kyrie Irving was seen tearing up.
This past Sunday, the Brooklyn Nets took on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden without their best player. Kyrie Irving missed the game but not due to injury, which has been the common reason for him to sit out matchups this year.
After learning of Kobe Bryant‘s tragic death, Kyrie chose not to take part. Irving possessed a very close relationship with Bryant through the years and decided that playing basketball Sunday evening wasn’t the best choice.
