Kyrie Irving was in a walking boot and on crutches after suffering an ankle injury in Game 4 of the Brooklyn Nets’ playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.

Irving landed awkwardly after making a basket in the paint in the second quarter of his team’s 107-96 loss to the Bucks. He left the game and underwent testing. X-rays were negative, but Irving will undergo an MRI as well.

According to a report, Irving was in a walking boot and on crutches after the game.

I’m told Kyrie was in a walking boot and using crutches after spraining his ankle during today’s Nets-Bucks Game 4. Steve Nash says that x-rays on the ankle were negative and that Kyrie will undergo further testing/evaluation tomorrow.
