Kyrie Irving Checked Up On His Son After Wizards Player Landed On Him Courtside

Kyrie Irving brought his family courtside to watch the Dallas Mavericks face the Washington Wizards. While Kyrie and the Mavs pulled off a strong comeback win on a cold team shooting night, Irving’s two-year-old son, Kaire, found himself in a spot of danger. Wizards forward Corey Kispert nearly fell on Irving’s son courtside.

Luka Doncic could be seen checking up on Irving’s son seconds after the incident, with the camera then cutting to Kyrie also checking up on his family.

Irving later revealed that the conversation was about Kidd advising him not to bring his young children courtside due to the physical danger they’re in. After the Kispert incident, it seems Irving was quick to agree with him.

“We were talking mainly about my son, Kaire, sitting courtside, and he was reminding me of a story of when he was playing and TJ, his son, was sitting courtside and he ended up diving into the stands and broke his collarbone. So he was just reminding me that just for the safety of our game, safety for my wife and my kids, maybe they shouldn’t sit courtside as often when the game gets physical. So [Kidd] was just giving me advice and me and my wife were talking about it after the game, you know, it’s been three years, having the boys down there every game and nobody’s come that close and it was scary for me. I took a deep breath afterward, just wanna make sure, of course, my kids are OK. But when things happen like that, it’s just spur of the moment. My wife did a great job of protecting Kai.”
