Kyrie Irving leaves Game 4 vs. Bucks with ankle injury
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Already without superstar James Harden, the Nets lost another member of the Big Three on Sunday afternoon in Game 4 against the Bucks after Kyrie Irving suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter.
With six minutes remaining in the second quarter, Irving caught an entry pass under the bucket and elevated for a short shot, but landed on the foot of Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and went down in obvious pain. Irving had 11 points, five rebounds and two assists in the game already, but was forced to head back to the locker room.

The Nets entered halftime down 53-48 against the Bucks. Irving was later confirmed to be out for the rest of Game 4.
Kyrie was in significant pain while talking to the training staff – twice he asked them to stop touching his ankle until he could take the pressure, and when they first tried to help him up, he asked them to stop due to pain. He's back in the locker room now.
