As the moment went viral on social media, fans adored it.

“Kyrie Irvingshows true sportsmanship,” one person wrote.

An additional comment read: “Glad Kyrie made it up to him afterwards.”

“Keep your eyes on the ball next time, little dude,” said a third commenter.

“Players from both teams are running over to check on this kid,” a fourth person stated. Excellent sportsmanship.

It was also said, “Cool that they checked on him.”

The Celtics defeated the Mavericks 122-107 in the American Airlines Center, and the Mavericks lost the game.

The 32-year-old Irving may be pleased with his performance because he still led his team with 22 points.

Irving was questioned about the Celtics’ skill level and whether it surpasses that of the Mavericks following the game.

“Alternatively, they’ve lost a few games, and Joe Mazzulla got into their a** a little bit, and you get the result you got tonight,” he stated.

Taking care of the ball, playing with confidence, playing with vigor, and going against us.

“They made changes, which is what great teams do, particularly when they win the league.

“They handled our pressure, they adjusted to our zone coverage, they started getting open shots and it s a pretty easy game from there.”
