We have a bit of controversy in the Bucks-Nets series.
During game 4 in Milwaukee on Sunday, Nets superstar guard Kyrie Irving was forced to leave the game with what appeared to be an ankle injury after colliding with Giannis Antetokounmpo on a layup.

Several Nets fans went on to accuse Giannis of being dirty and not giving Kyrie room to land by sliding underneath him which led to the injury.

Others went on to defend Giannis on the play.
come on man, let’s not do this.
to me dirty means intent & i don’t think giannis would do that.
we can have a convo about it being reckless tho. https://t.co/8KHCAsmku2
