Dallas Mavericks’ guard Kyrie Irving opened up about his postgame embrace with teammate Luka Doncic following their team’s thrilling victory over the Houston Rockets.
Irving, who delivered a remarkable performance with a season-high 48 points, revealed that the embrace stemmed from Doncic’s exhaustion and the immense effort he put forth during the game.
“At the end of the game, Luka was like, ‘I’m tired, man.’ That’s why I just hugged him, man, at the end of the game because he left it all out there, and he did all that he could,” Irving said.
