The news of Kyrie Irving’s ACL injury sent shock waves around the league and apparently sits as another shot across the bow to Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison as another ripple from trading Luka Donu010diu0107 a month ago.
It’s easy to frame this as cosmic or karmic to the Mavericks organization, as if Irving was some mere tool in the quest to make Harrison look like an incompetent fool for trading Donu010diu0107. But then you’d be selling Irving short, stripping him of the very humanity he has long claimed the media does on every possible occasion.
