It was their respective first career ejection. One evening in April 2021, Kyrie Irving And Dennis Schroder got into such a verbal tangle that the referees decided to send them both back to the locker room prematurely.
Two years later, we know a little more about this scuffle. Originally, there is the Lakers player who complained about an illegal defense, and the antennae, of his counterpart who is still a Nets player. Complaint justified and sanctioned by officials.
Which did not prevent the German from sending his opponent: “ Come on nigga. ” To which Kyrie Irving, visibly offended, would have replied: ” you have no right to say that (note: to use the famous n-word) ! You are from Germany. »
A remark that surprised LeBron James’ teammate. ” The first six or seven years, I respected him a lot because it didn’t matter if he planted 40 points on you or played a quiet game, he remained the same, he didn’t say shit. Then there was this incident in Brooklyn, which surprised me because it came out of nowhere. I was shocked. I won’t lie », today entrusts the leader.
Kyrie Irving’s apology
At the time, the German had even come to question the “King” on the behavior of his former teammate at the Cavs. ” LeBron said, ‘I don’t know, let it go’ “, Reports Dennis Schroder.
The two protagonists had remained there until this season when the Lakers player found himself in defense against the leader now wearing the Mavs jersey. ” I want to apologize. We’ve been fighting for so many years that you know it’s not me “, apologized Kyrie Irving, according to the comments reported by the German.
” He said he was going through a bad patch at the time and that’s why he reacted like that. say that (note: apologise) being such a powerful player? That says it all. We exchanged our jerseys after this match. I came back to the same camp as the first six, seven years. I respect him as a player and as a person “, displays Dennis Schroder whose fate could be linked to that of Kyrie Irving if the rumor of his arrival in Los Angeles were to materialize.
