Irving left in the first quarter of the Cavs’ victory at Oklahoma City on Sunday with what the team called “flu-like symptoms.” Irving, however, said those symptoms were caused by bed bugs from his Skirvin Hilton hotel room in Oklahoma City and even pointed out a bite on his forehead.
“Just imagine how freaked out you’d be if you saw friggin five, big ass bed bugs just sitting on your pillow,” Irving said. “I woke up itching and I’m just looking around and I’m like, ‘Are you serious right now?’ It was 3 a.m. and I was so tired at that point.
