Kyrie Irving helped off after suffering left knee sprain

Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving was ruled out of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings after suffering a left knee sprain, the team announced.

Irving bumped knees with Kings center Jonas Valanciunas while being fouled on a drive and went to the ground in pain. He was able to stay in the game and sink two free throws before Dallas called a timeout.

Irving was then helped off the court and appeared not to be able to put any weight on his injured leg.

The injury is the latest blow for a Mavs team already missing Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford and Caleb Martin for an extended period.
