Kyrie Irving was reportedly upset at an 'inappropriate' remark aimed at him when he accidentally crashed into fans during the NBA Finals.
In the second quarter of Monday's Game 5 in Boston, Irving dove for a loose ball and landed on the announcer's table as his Mavericks hung on while down 3-1 to the Celtics.
After the point guard got up after successfully keeping the ball in bounds, broadcaster Mike Breen noted that Irving also received an unpleasant remark from a fan as he dove into the Boston crowd.
'Irving was upset,' Breen said. 'Somebody said something to him, inappropriate while the guy's down on the floor, which was a disgrace.'
The remarks and the person who delivered them were not disclosed after the incident.
