Anthony Davis gave his perspective on injury to Kyrie Irving

BROOKLYN – Less than a month after he suffered a strained left adductor, Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis watched teammate

Kyrie Irving sustain a season-ending tear of his left anterior cruciate ligament.

Reflecting on Irving’s injury following Monday’s 120-101 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, Davis said: “It was devastating. Kyrie is a phenomenal basketball player, but even more a phenomenal human.

“Anytime anyone goes down to an injury like that it always sucks.”

Davis waited a bit before he contacted Irving about the injury. He wanted to give the mercurial guard time to digest all of the circumstances surrounding his injury.
