Last season’s game between the Grizzlies and Mavericks witnessed an unexpected twist when Kyrie Irving declined to participate in a post-game jersey swap with Dillon Brooks.
The incident raised eyebrows and left fans curious about the reason behind Irving’s decision, but recent insights from the player himself have shed light on the matter.
During a Twitch stream, Irving provided a candid explanation for his refusal to exchange jerseys with Brooks. He revealed, via ClutchPoints, “I was pissed at [Dillon Brooks]. He knew it too… He hurt me again in that game.”
Irving’s honesty extended to his state of mind following the game. He further shared, “I didn’t take his jersey after the game because I was just so focused on getting to the locker room.”
