Recently, it was announced that Dallas Mavericks star point guard Kyrie Irving will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season as he recovers from a torn ACL. Mavericks fans likely won't be disappointed by this news, considering the team is currently headed to another lottery selection after trying their luck at the Cooper Flag last year.
Over the weekend, the NBA All-Star festivities took place in Los Angeles, and now, Irving is attacking the NBA media for its conduct at the event.
“No real questions,” Irving said of the media, according to Sportsville on Instagram. "And whenever anyone asks a real question, it's an argument for something else, or a brand setup or something. And you all know what real question I'm talking about... They don't want to talk about anything that's actually going on. You all know what I'm talking about."
Although Irving didn't reveal much else, he declined to do an interview with ESPN over the weekend, saying he "don't really care" about the publication.
According to Al Jazeera, Irving also recently wore a shirt that honored journalists covering the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
The tag on the shirt read, "Dedicated to our beloved journalists in Gaza for showing the truth to the world."
Irving has never been shy about speaking his mind on real-world issues throughout his career, which has sometimes led to him facing criticism from league front offices, especially during his time with the Brooklyn Nets.
Shortly after the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, the star has been out of the lineup since tearing his ACL last March, and this year he has watched from the sidelines as Flagg has turned into one of the best rookies in recent NBA history.
The Mavericks next face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday evening.
