🌏 Irving is ready to play for Australia at the next Olympics

πŸ’¬ β€œI've been playing for the U.S. national team since I was 17 years old. Won three gold medals. I wouldn't say it was frustrating not getting a chance, but it was weird,” shared Kyrie.

The player didn't want to come off the bench in New York. This was reported by SNY columnist Ian Begley.

But given what was done in the offseason, Divincenzo would likely have to replace Bridges. I can safely say Donte didn't like that idea,” Begley said.
