Luka Doncic gets emotional after Kyrie Irving's injury

Luka Doncic was one of the first notable personalities to react online after Kyrie Irving suffered a season-ending ACL injury. Irving suffered a non-contact injury after accelerating to the rim, spraining his left knee in the process. He couldn't put any pressure on the injured leg, but he still made the free throws and was carried off by Anthony Davis and the Mavericks' staff to the locker room.

After reports emerged that Irving had suffered a season-ending ACL injury, Doncic shared a heartfelt message, saying:

"You will comeback stronger mi hermano"

Doncic and Irving called each other 'hermano,' which means 'brother' in Spanish. Many felt the duo was destined to lead the Mavericks to the promised land after nearly getting there last year. However, Dallas' organization had other plans for Doncic, which took the entire NBA world by storm.
