Football star Toni Kroos had a strong reaction when Kyrie Irving went through a horrible moment during the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Sacramento Kings. It seems that luck is not on the Mavericks’ side, as their roster continues to suffer from injuries to their star players.
The Dallas team had already struggled with the absence of Luka Doncic. Now, the NBA veteran faced a serious issue that forced him to leave the game just a few minutes later.
Kroos reacted immediately
Following the incident, former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos wasted no time in reacting, posting a series of crying emojis. He has a strong friendship with Luka Doncic, which is why he closely follows the Mavericks and their players.
Since retiring from club football in 2024, Kroos has become a devoted NBA fan, particularly of the Dallas Mavericks. So, Kyrie Irving’s left knee injury did not go unnoticed by him.
On his Instagram story, Kroos shared a photo of the moment Irving left the court. The embedded text was a message of encouragement: “Speed recovery @kyrieirving basketball needs you.”
What happened to Kyrie Irving?
In the first quarter of the game, Kyrie Irving accidentally stepped on Jonas Valanciunas, causing a hyperextension of his left knee, which resulted in a severe sprain. The pain was so intense that Irving remained on the ground, requiring assistance from the team’s medical staff off the court.
The entire American Airlines Center was left in shock. However, Irving showed his resilience by returning to the court to take two free throws before leaving the game. This demonstrated his strength and commitment to the team.
Toni Kroos was not the only one to react to Irving’s injury. Many fans expressed their support and solidarity with the Mavericks’ star. Now, Dallas must once again adjust their lineup while Irving recovers fully.
