Kyrie Irving suffered a left knee sprain Monday night and shot free throws for the Dallas Mavericks before leaving the floor in obvious pain late in the first quarter against the Sacramento Kings. Irving was fouled by DeMar DeRozan on a drive to the basket and his right foot landed on the foot of the Kings’ Jonas Valanciunas.

The run of victories extended to four after the Kings took care of the shorthanded Mavericks, whose season took another disastrous turn when Kyrie Irving’s left leg landed awkwardly on a drive to the basket late in the first quarter.

The Sacramento Kings made franchise history with a dominant blowout victory over the injury-riddled Dallas Mavericks.
