Another incident in NBA, bottle towards Kyrie Irving | Sport

sport">The bottle flew right past the head of the 29-year-old American, who played for the Celtics between 2017 and 2019. Security guards quickly caught the culprit. He was carried to the TD Garden in handcuffs. “Unfortunately, sport has also reached a crossroads where many old roads converge,” said Irving. “There is underlying racism. The people here think they have the right to do something like that.”

sport">“I know that everyone has been at home for 1.5 years because of the pandemic, people are tense because of that,” said teammate Kevin Durant. “But when you go to such competitions, you have to realize: these men are also just people. We are not animals, we are not in the circus. When you come to a match, it’s not just about you as a fan. Show some respect for the sport. The people of Boston are probably still mad at Kyrie, but that’s no reason to be so childish. Hopefully we don’t have to come back here this year.” The Nets can secure a spot in the second round of the playoffs in New York on Tuesday.

sport">Several incidents took place last week. For example, Russell Westbrook (Washington Wizards) in Philadelphia got a bowl of popcorn thrown over him. In New York, a spectator spat at Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks). The perpetrators are no longer welcome in the NBA for the time being. Utah Jazz suspended three spectators for racially treating relatives of Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies).
