Irving stayed on the floor for an extended stretch before being helped up by Anthony Davis and a Mavericks assistant coach. He was unable to put any pressure on his left leg, but with the help of his guys he hobbled to the free-throw line and managed to sink both basically off one leg before exiting to the locker room.

Despite sustaining a rough injury just moments prior, Kyrie Irving valiantly took both free throws after this play for the Mavericks.

Kyrie Irving left the Dallas Mavericks’ game Monday against Sacramento with a left knee sprain. Irving was injured late in the first quarter, and the Mavs said he would not return.
