Fans Throw Water Bottle at Kyrie Irving

Game 4 of Nets vs Celtics was quite eventful, especially for Kyrie Irving, who was met with hostility from Boston fans. With a sellout crowd of 17,226, fans jeered and swore every time former Celtics player Irving touched the ball.

This took a turn for the worse after the game. Irving was walking off the court when he was nearly hit by a bottle thrown from the stands.

The police took the violet fan out of the game and in handcuffs.

Irving stated, “People feel very entitled out here. As a Black man playing in the NBA, dealing with a lot of this stuff, it’s fairly difficult. You never know what’s going to happen. It’s just unacceptable for that stuff to be happening. But we move on.”
