Nichols also reported after the game, that Irving who left Game 4 in the first-half with a sprained ankle, was in a walking boot and on crutches post-game.
I’m told Kyrie was in a walking boot and using crutches after spraining his ankle during today’s Nets-Bucks Game 4. Steve Nash says that x-rays on the ankle were negative and that Kyrie will undergo further testing/evaluation tomorrow.
