Kyrie Irving left the second quarter of Game 4 of the Brooklyn Nets Milwaukee Bucks with a gruesome ankle injury.
Giannis Antetokounmpo slid under Irving as he was attempting a layup and the Nets point guard came down with what looked to be a serious ankle injury.
Brooklyn ruled Irving out for the remainder of the game and classified the injury as a right ankle sprain.
Regardless of irvings, long-term prognosis, the NBA needs to step in and take action. The Nets and Bucks series has taken physicality to a new level, but the safety of the players has to be paramount. Atentokuompo should be suspended for game 5 for his actions, and the officials need to take a closer look at how they're calling this series as more players will get injured if things continue getting out of hand.Kyrie Irving is out for the remainder of the game due to a right ankle sprain.
