Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is not a friend to the Washington Wizards. He’s been a rival of John Wall’s for much of the last decade, and I’d say that Bradley Beal is a rival too. But Irving deserves praise this week, and it was influenced by none other than Washington Mystics guard Natasha Cloud.
On Monday, Irving announced that he would create a $1.5 million fund to supplement WNBA players’ salaries if they chose to opt out of the season because of coronavirus concerns or to fight for social justice causes, in an article by the Associated Press.
