Kyrie Irving jumped to the defense of his Nets teammate Ben Simmons following the team’s 110–99 loss to the Bucks on Wednesday.
Simmons struggled to get anything going against Giannis & Co., only scoring 4 points in 34 minutes. When asked how he and his teammates can get Simmons to shoot more, Irving gave an honest answer.
“I mean, I just think like if we’re going to come in and be honest as a team, I’m not trying to just be critical over what Ben’s done right or done wrong every single night,” Irving said.
