Kyrie Irving’s 14th NBA season was cut short when the former All-Star guard tore his ACL on March 3 against the Sacramento Kings. His recovery has not stopped him from being involved in the community and interacting with fans, though. He shared some advice with children at a park, making their day.
Irving has a reputation for appearing in parks and playing against fans. Ever since he took on the persona of “Uncle Drew”, it became his newest nickname. NBA players and fans alike use the moniker to describe Irving’s flashy play, which reminds them of streetball.
Recovering from an ACL injury is a long process, and Irving will likely be out for the majority of next season. The Dallas Mavericks will miss their star as they enter their first offseason without Luka Doncic on the roster. Despite not being able to play, Irving took the time to impart some wisdom on his fans, providing encouragement to them.
