Kyrie Irving: “I’m one of the best scorers”
After scoring 41 points against the Atlanta Hawks, the Dallas Mavericks veteran guard Kyrie Irving spoke about the team’s play-in outlook and his injury management.
“Every game’s pretty much been our backs-against-the-wall mentality, playing with a sense of desperation. I’m one of the best scorers in the world, so it’s pretty easy for me to go into my toolbox and be efficient, especially when I’m feeling good and getting healthier every single game.
“I wish that was the case a few games ago where I was able to shoot a little better and help out the team a little more. The last few games, we’ve fallen short. I take a lot of that pressure on myself, a lot of that responsibility, because I feel like I definitely could have played better.
“And nights like this over the last few months have come easy. But with this ailing foot injury, it’s taken me a little longer to get back in the flow. When you’re playing with an injury, you just do the best you can. My teammates know that, and the organization knows that.”
