Kyrie Irving: Please keep supporting us in a way that is different from before. We need to change up our relationship a bit—so it can be built on more positivity. So you guys can really get to know who we are. I’m going into my next year—technically my third year in Dallas, or my fourth year, but really my third full year—and I’m looking forward to the teammates that I have. This season has been up and down. It’s been filled with injuries. We’d be in a different situation if we were all healthy. A lot of this would just be noise under the bridge."

Been traveling today, but just looked at the updated injury report which has Anthony Davis as doubtful -- an upgrade from the past month recovering from left adductor injury. Also, Gafford, Irving, Lively, Martin, Prosper, Exum all out. - 10:06 PM

More on this storyline​

Kyrie Irving: But bringing that s*** to life—and some of the things that were going on in Dallas, like the casket, the “Fire Nico” chants, and these unfortunate situations where you’re attacking someone who’s just performing a function of the business—that was emotional. It was emotional for a lot of people, and it was emotional for me too. I ain’t gonna lie to you—I struggled a little bit the first few days. But after a while—yo—you get to where you are by making some incredible moves. And mind you, everybody's going to have their opinion about what we should’ve done or what we should’ve did. But we can only deal with what we’re doing now. -via YouTube / March 24, 2025​

Kyrie Irving: I’m tearing up at the free throw line, and I could just sense that my body was in shock. And the moment that I got up there and dribbled, I was thinking about thanking God from the outset—right from the start. But I just started thinking about all my predecessors. Especially Kobe. You know, at that moment, I could feel the sense of—my season is done. I'm hurting. I'm crying. I got millions of people watching me. I got millions of people praying for me. I got millions of people that are involved in this journey with me—so they’re feeling the same pain that I’m feeling. They might not feel the physical pain, but they’re feeling the pain I'm feeling. And I just wanted to be strong -via YouTube / March 24, 2025​

Kyrie Irving: I know we’ve dealt with a lot. I know we’ve been going through a lot. But please, just stick with us. Understand that we’re here for the long haul, too—to make this thing work. I don’t want anybody to focus on playing the blame game. Let’s just focus on where we are now. I’m so grateful to be surrounded by a community like Dallas, where we love sports. We love our sports players. We support each other. But at the same time, our culture is being rebuilt as we speak. It’s part of franchise building and franchise changes. -via YouTube / March 24, 2025​
