Something angered Kyrie Irving enough for the Nets star to confront a fan on his way back to the visiting locker room Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Television cameras showed Irving passing two fans at a turn on his way back to the locker room at halftime of the Nets’ eventual 110-98 win over the Knicks.
The All-Star caliber guard turned around and had a few words with one of the fans, who appeared to snap a quick cell phone photo of Irving. It’s unclear whether it was either of those fans who said anything to Irving, although he appears to be asking: ‘Who said it?” in the video.
Irving, who had 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in the win, became a polarizing figure this season after his decision not to conform to New York City’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates. It left him unable to play in home games at Barclays Center and MSG until new Mayor Eric Adams last month announced an exemption to the rule for athletes and performers.
