Duke basketball: Fan flings bottle at former Blue Devil

A Duke basketball product looks to have been a target of a plastic product.

On Sunday night, the No. 2 seed Brooklyn Nets notched a 141-126 win at the No. 7 seed Boston Celtics to gain a 3-1 lead in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Just before walking toward the locker room afterward, Nets guard and former Duke basketball one-and-done Kyrie Irving (2010-11) stomped on the leprechaun logo at halfcourt.

Well, that wasn’t nice. Yet it made sense. After all, Irving unceremoniously left Boston for Brooklyn as a free agent in the summer of 2019.
